4.0 out of 5 starsCalling all A Level English Lit Students!!
By alibro17@aol.com on 14 May 2001
Format: Mass Market Paperback
As an English Lit. student studying "Arcadia" by Tom Stoppard, this book has been invaluable. Being as it is a very complex play indeed, and there is very little material available on it. But help is at hand! This book explains some of the plays difficult theories, and if you are studying the play my advice is BUY IT NOW! The only downside is that the book is not entirely about Arcadia, and so you are paying for some irrelevant info, but hey, when you're panicking about revision, who cares?

5.0 out of 5 starsRosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
By Ammon Cheskin on 9 Jan. 2004
Format: Mass Market Paperback
This is one of the funniest and most original plays that I have ever had the pleasure of reading. Tom Stoppard is able to present the most banal of situations and turn them into something very deep, tragic, thought provoking and above all, funny.
A great read for anyone who likes to be entertained.

HASH(0x95aaf864) out of 5 stars invaluable resource 3 Jun. 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Mass Market Paperback
Having read a review that made me aware the play texts were *not* included, I was overjoyed to find this valuable resource. Stoppard's plays are filled with literary, historical and political references that are so easily missed, and this critical analysis and resource of references was invaluable to my study of TRAVESTIES. I will be exploring all of the other works soon!

HASH(0x95ab2498) out of 5 stars This book does NOT contain the plays!! 13 Sept. 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Mass Market Paperback
You would think from the title that this was a collection of four of Stoppard's best plays with some commentary. The plays are NOT included, which, for me, made this book worthless.
