Book Reviews of Arcadia: A Play
Book Review: Landmark theatre of the 1990's.
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
