Arcadia

Arcadia is a play that Izzy and I felt very attached to so when the moment came to choose a scene, we instantly knew which play we wanted to perform.

That’s why it’s one of my favorite plays. Tom Stoppard always volunteers an odd style of writing, but I found myself enjoying Arcadia more than some of his other work. The format has it so the visible action of the play takes place in the same room in an English country house, a couple of centuries apart. By keeping all of the action in the

His transformation from enslavement to liberation is found through a fusion of urban (Rome) and rural (Arcadia) instances, thus confirming the pastoral element of Virgil to be only complete in this Eclogue when observing similarities and differences between the intricate and the simplistic.
