Arcadia

uhhhhh..... sex...... knowledge..... hermitages... i have no valid reason or position to be in to properly justify my rating but I couldn't pay too much attention to it in class

I usually don't read plays (neither go to the theater much) but this looked intriguing: A clever and funny play full of science, literature and romance, set in the early 19th century and sometime in the 1990ies. Thermodynamics, fractals (the Coverly set) and notes in the margins à la Fermat. The present tries to rediscover the past, but time doesn't follow Newton's laws.

Maybe this was something meant to be seen, rather than read. I love Tom Stoppard (or I love Shakespeare in Love, anyway), but sometimes I don't get him (Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead). I blame this solely on myself.
