	ARCADIA - the play
		Arcadia is a mountainous district in the Peloponnese, the domain of the shepherd god Pan, and is taken as the exemplar of rural contentment.
		The phrase resounds throughout the play, with a strong degree of poignancy.
		As the world of the play moves back and forth between the two eras, the audience gradually comes to understand the complex series of interlinked events that will bring them to the truth of the matter.

	Arcadia (utopia) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Arcadia (Greek: Ἀρκαδία) was a province of ancient Greece.
		According to Greek mythology, Arcadia of Peloponnesus was the domain of Pan, the virgin wilderness home of the god of the forest and his court of dryads, nymphs and other spirits of nature.
		In the 1590s Sir Philip Sidney circulated copies of his influential heroic romance poem The Countess of Pembroke's Arcadia establishing Arcadia as an icon of the Renaissance; although the story is plentifully supplied with shepherds and other pastoral figures, the central characters of the plot are all royalty visiting the countryside.

		Arcadia is one of the most touching and enlightening works of literature I have ever read.
		In general sense, Arcadia is marked as a comedy because of the peculiarity of some of the characters; however, it is also a tragedy, a romantic story, a comforting book, a philosophical question, and a scientific term paper.
		Arcadia dually covers a historical event turgid with substance and contemporary historians who would wish to piecemeal it back together into the whole that it was.

	Royal National Theatre - Arcadia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Arcadia represents a high point of world drama against which all other plays which claim to be works of Art rather than propaganda must henceforth be measured.
		The play's megalomaniac, Bernard Nightingale, who struts like a peacock rather than sings like a bird, provides many of its funniest moments, while the most gruesome result of his ends is a quick bonk with a too-willing partner.
		Arcadia, however, is not a play about life, which can only be fulfilled if we refrain from trying to change the world to suit ourselves and trust that inspiration can answer all our deepest needs, whether they can be creative, ie artistic or scientific, or personal.

		"Arcadia" is a thought-provoking but hilarious look at some of the deepest questions in life.
		Drummond calls the play "brilliant." It takes the audience back and forth between the centuries and "explores the nature of truth and time, the difference between the classical and the romantic temperament, and the disruptive influence of sex on our orbits in life.
		Sex is the attraction, as Valentine says, which Newton left out." "Arcadia" features two mathematicians and a 13-year-old mathematical genius and uses mathematics to infuse everyday things such as a leaf, a population of birds, and clouds with grandeur and magic.

		Tom Stoppard's play primarily concerns Thomasina Croom, a brilliant 13-year-old who is searching for the proof to Fermat's theorem, the Second Law of Thermodynamics, and the rudiments of what we now know as chaos theory.
		"'Arcadia' is, at last, the full-length work Stoppard said in 1974--after the success of 'Jumpers' (1972) and 'Travesties' (1974)--he really wanted to write: 'Something that takes place in a whitewashed room with no music and no jumping about...so that the energy can go into the literary side of what I do.
		In this play he has developed the concept of researching the past and having that past played for the audience, but it's not a movie, it's for the stage.

		Tom Stoppard‘s play, Arcadia, will be performed this week by the Department of Theatre and Dance at Pomona College.
		Arcadia is an astonishing journey of a play, combining the comedy of the moment with the conventions of the English 18th Century drawing-room—and the risks and uncertainties of literary and scientific discovery with the irreversible tragedy of fate and chance.
		Stoppard moves the action seamlessly from 1809 Derbyshire to the present—exploring the worlds of English Romanticism, determinism, landscape architecture, higher mathematics, chaos theories, the creative individuality of genius and the very nature of truth and time—all with great perception and wit.
