Product Description

Review
"Arcadia"
"I have never left a new play more convinced that I'd just witnessed a masterpiece."--"Daily Telegraph"
"This is a brilliant, brilliant play. A play of ideas, of consummate theatricality, of sophisticated entertainment and of heartache for time never to be regained."--"Sunday Times"
"The Real Thing"
"In "The Real Thing" he [Stoppard] combines some fly Pirandellian games with an unequivocal statement about the joyousness of shared passion. And the result is the rare thing in the West End (or anywhere else for that matter): an intelligent play about love."--"Guardian"
"Night & Day; "
"How excellent it is to leave a theatre thinking as this play makes you think."--"Financial Times"
"Hapgood"
""Hapgood" is a new variation on one of Stoppard's abiding themes: the black romance of reality and appearance. This is a metaphysical spy-thriller, intricate, elegant, and lucid...for sheer intellectual excitement, "Hapgood "has no rival."--"Sunday Times"
"Tom Stoppard's most cunning play--a dazzling, double game of physics and espionage--remarkable."--"Guardian"


Product Description

5.0 out of 5 stars One-stop Stoppard, 13 Feb 2008
By Stuart (Fabriano, Italy) - See all my reviews
...well, at least one-stop LATE Stoppard, though less catchy, and if they'd eased out Night and Day and slipped in Invention of Love it would have been even juicier. Otherwise, basically "The Kendal Years" with four of the plays written with that excellent actress's ballsy vivaciousness and comic sense in mind, and really just a supremely rich haul of entertainment and complex playcraft that will have you rereading and spotting new jokes till the cows come home, utterly pleasurable, and if you live in an out-of-the-way wee town like I do probably the only way you can ever enjoy Stoppard's work...why don't they film productions and release them on DVD so people outside London and New York can see them too??

5.0 out of 5 stars Be dazzled, 27 April 2009
By Jon Chambers (Birmingham, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Before reading this volume, I was still in two minds about Stoppard. All dazzling surface and no meaningful depth? Or though-provoking themes combined with Wildean wit? The current collection of plays in volume 5 of Faber's Stoppard series, containing five full-length works for the stage written over four decades, should provide convincing evidence to settle the argument.

To my mind, no other Stoppard play can match the beauty and power of Arcadia, his 1993 triumph which, in the words of Jim Stewart, is the least likely of the plays to seem dated and the most likely to be revived. Reminiscent of Jumpers in its impossible juxtapositions (gymnastics and moral philosophy there), Arcadia's unlikely terrain of landscape gardening, thermodynamics, academic rivalry and chaos theory is unsurpassed in theatricality and invention. As a whole, the collection proves as scintillating on the page as on the stage and critic Michael Billington is surely apt in talking of Stoppard's Technicolour brilliance, 'delighting in language and the illusions of theatre', which privided a welcome antidote to the kitchen-sink realism of post-war English theatre.

Although some of the dialogue can seem outmoded (like that of the very un-p.c. Wagner in Night and Day) this is the Stoppard collection to top the rest. Plays like these delight and stretch the mind in equal measure.
