5.0 out of 5 stars A view of "Arcadia" from a student, 3 Jan 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Arcadia (Paperback)
Having read the previous review of this text, I feel compelled to write and agree with that author's sentiment. I have just finished studying this text for my English A-level. These lessons were entertaining and interesting due to the humour and character portrayals within this text. "Arcadia" is by far one the most enthralling texts that I have studied for a long time. I have kept my copy and regularly reread it. I strongly recommend that this text is read.

5.0 out of 5 stars a masterpiece of the stage, 16 April 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Arcadia (Acting Edition) (Paperback)
In this play Stoppard displays a tremendous amount of talent and intellect through the wit, humour and wealth of knowledge apparent in this play. The diverse characters are cleverly paralleled in a different time period as a means of showing histories anility to repeat itself. This is not the only prominent theme that Stoppard cleverly brings out, love is also conveyed in ways that will leave you in stitches and tears. it truely is one of the best plays i have ever seen. Fascinatingly interesting to watch - brilliant

5.0 out of 5 stars Landmark theatre of the 1990's., 16 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Arcadia (Paperback)
While a gushing review should no doubt be treated with suspicion, there is little choice when confronted with Stoppard's brilliant piece of theatre. All the usual criticisms - intellectual, clever-clever, literary - are perhaps fair, but not as criticisms. Put simply, if you want something which is fin de siecle wit at its best and which also makes you think a little bit (which can be a pleasure, no really!), then you can do a lot worse than read this. Better, of course, is to see it, but I found it such a great read *without* seeing it that I felt like I knew the play off by heart when I finally saw it in performance. 'Bonking Byron shoots poet!' - the portrayal of obsessed English academics is scarily accurate (I've seen it for real), and the combination of science and art makes Stoppard, once again, the physicist's artist. This is a landmark piece of theatre for the 1990s, and is already an undisputed classic. Your kids and your kids' kids are going to love English lessons when this hits the syllabus.
