So, I saw Arcadia tonight on Broadway. It was stupendous. It was fun, and witty, and charming, and exciting and a thrill ride.
.
I haven't seen a lot of Tom Stoppard - I saw Shakespeare in Love at the movies, and Rock an Roll on Broadway, but not much else. In Arcadia I see what the fuss is about.
.
It is a symphony of ideas, expressions and well thought out prose, delivered expertly. Billy Crudup and Raul Exparza were magnificent. And Jack Cutmore-Scott was an understudy as Septimus Hodge and was great. GREAT.
.
It takes place at one English Estate at two moments almost 200 years apart, alternating and complimenting each other as if it were the most natural thing in the world. It was a pleasure to listen to.
.
I am inspired.
