{"product_id":"arcadia-faber-drama","title":"Arcadia (Faber Drama)","description":"In a large country house in Derbyshire in April 1809 sits Lady Thomasina Coverly, aged thirteen, and her tutor, Septimus Hodge. Through the window may be seen some of the '500 acres inclusive of lake' where Capability Brown's idealized landscape is about to give way to the 'picturesque' Gothic style: 'everything but vampires', as the garden historian Hannah Jarvis remarks to Bernard Nightingale when they stand in the same room 180 years later.\n\nBernard has arrived to uncover the scandal which is said to have taken place when Lord Byron stayed at Sidley Park.\n\nTom Stoppard's absorbing play takes us 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 - 'the attraction', as Hannah says, 'which Newton left out'.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0571169341\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0571169341.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Stoppard, Tom\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
