Arcadia by Tom Stoppard

5.0

This play. On one hand, intellectually, I'm still trying to wrap my head around the concepts of the play. Stoppard is a smart cookie, and he expects the members of the audience to be smart cookies as well. Entropy, second law of thermodynamics, garden architecture, and iterated algorithms all play a part and he doesn't stop to explain them. They just are.
On the other hand, I just loved it. The characters were funny, witty, and full of life, real three dimensional people. The ending was heartbreaking, but beautiful and full of poetry. Now I just want to see it performed.
