Arcadia Played

Tonight I went to see a lively production of Arcadia, by Tom Stoppard. The play is amazingly clever. It's set partly in the Romantic Era and partly in contemporary times. Some of the contemporary people are trying to reconstruct what happened back in the early 1800's.

Underneath the cleverness and comedy and magic
the story's horribly sad, even tragic.
