Underneath the dazzle, however, Stoppard is setting up questions that the play will delve into – questions about how we impose our own ideas on the past, how our lives are ordered, and how sexual attraction can interfere with that apparent order. It also takes a writer like Stoppard to bring the concept of entropy down to the fact that jam spreads out if you stir it into rice pudding [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but it doesn’t join up again if you stir it the other way. Stoppard’s fans would argue that it is in images like this that he allows us to feel about ideas, rather than simply think them.

Dogg's Hamlet Response
Arcadia is written from the very start in Stoppard’s very recognisable style: within the first few pages puns abound [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], ideas are juggled between speakers, an extended riff is developed on the implications of the term “carnal embrace” and the question “Is God a Newtonian?” is deliberately misheard into “Is God an Etonian?” For those who prefer their dialogue with a greater flavour of realism, or who just aren’t impressed by wordplay around sex and metaphysics, passages like this can seem too clever by half.
Arcadia is one of Tom Stoppard’s most famous plays, and combines an intellectual playfulness with considerable emotional impact in production. The unusual staging, in which characters from two different centuries share the same room, drives the play’s investigation of loss, history and the distortions of time.
The staging of the play switches from the eighteenth century to the modern day, though it all takes place in the same room in a stately home. Props, such as a book of poetry and some secret notes, continue to exist in both times – they are read and used to conduct intrigues in the past, then discovered and used again, to build hypotheses and arguments, in the present. On occasion the characters from both time periods share the room [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], even share the same table – as so often with Stoppard, it sounds mechanical and meretricious when planned out, but has a powerful emotion pull in production.
