601:. In this context, discussing the work as a whole, I suggest that the book image is more appropriate and that it should be restored. Furthermore, albeit rather subjectively, the theatrical poster showing a couple dancing doesn't seem to relate to the work in any specific way: it's rather a commonplace concept. --

Moonraker I can recall and compare both London productions, but not those in other countries. I hope I'm editing dispassionately—I added "too clever by about two-and-three-quarters" and "mixed or unfavourable, citing anachronisms"—but I am a fan. I haven't gone into comparison between the London and

I disagree with the opening explanation: "Latin phrase et in
Arcadia ego which states that death is always present". It would be more accurate to say "usually interpreted" (as in the page on "et in Arcadia ego"). The reference to the phrase is explicit within the play, where the possible ambiguity of

Arcadia as a mystery. In the "present" timeframe, the audience wonders what happened in the past. In the "past", the audience wonders what happened to bring about the present. We wonder who killed Mr. Chater. We wonder who was the hermit, and when we find out, we wonder what drove Septimus

The current version of the "Genre" section mentions comedy and tragedy. Aristotle's comedy is a some awful slob becoming happy because of a singular quality. (E.g., Homer
Simpson because he loves his family.) Tragedy is some nigh-perfect person falling from grace due to their flaw. (E.g. Lisa

Hi there. I hope it is not inappropriate to infer that you become a fan of this play because of its London production. I saw the play for the first time on
Broadway during a recent trip to NYC. It was strangely uneven and dissatisfying. I plan to add the reviews later. I really feel that a play's

Stoppard's stage directions, and I would like to remove the date for "the present" entirely -- he talks about the effect desired at length and does not specify a date for the later period. This is unlikely to be a chance omission. The stage direction as written leaves open the

May we settle for one date in the article? The work specifies only "the present" which would give us, loosely, 1993. As far as I can see "1989" comes only from the publisher's commentary on the back cover: "same room 180 years later". From this I tend to prefer 1993 but don't really mind which as

Well 24 hours isn't much time to declare no disagreement, but ok. The Age isn't a local paper, it's the major newspaper of

Good catch. I hadn't noticed this (I need to turn up the character size on screen to check anything closely these days—see comments about "old" editors, above) so grateful thanks for pointing it out. The verb/noun change was correct: it's just that the spelling choice in the changed version that

I think substituting the date of the premiere for "the present" is original interpretation. We can describe the performance history of the play as: "the present (1993 in the play's first production)" but I don't think we should assign a date to the later period as if it were part of the play as

Simpson fails because of arrogance.) These teach us to admire the singular quality or distain the tragic flaw. While
Arcadia contains a lot of humor, it's not "comedy" as Aristotle defines it. While I see some tragedy (Nightingale, Mr. Chater, Brice), it is not the dominant theme.

LADY CROOM: ...and I can say with the painter, 'Et in

455:
I have a bit of a problem with the first paragraph's claim that the word "Arcadia" is a reference to "Et in
Arcadia ego". That's like saying that the word "happiness" is violent because it's a reference to the phrase "happiness is a warm gun".
