Tom Stoppard: Plays 5 : Arcadia, The Real Thing, Night & Day, Indian Ink, Hapgood Details
Review “I have never left a new play more convinced that I'd just witnessed a masterpiece.” ―Daily Telegraph on Arcadia“This is a brilliant, brilliant play. A play of ideas, of consummate theatricality, of sophisticated entertainment and of heartache for time never to be regained.” ―Sunday Times on Arcadia“In The Real Thing he [Stoppard] combines some fly Pirandellian games with an unequivocal statement about the joyousness of shared passion. And the result is the rare thing in the West End (or anywhere else for that matter): an intelligent play about love.” ―Guardian“How excellent it is to leave a theatre thinking as this play makes you think.” ―Financial Times on Night & Day“Hapgood is a new variation on one of Stoppard's abiding themes: the black romance of reality and appearance. This is a metaphysical spy-thriller, intricate, elegant, and lucid...for sheer intellectual excitement, Hapgood has no rival.” ―Sunday Times“Tom Stoppard's most cunning play--a dazzling, double game of physics and espionage--remarkable.” ―Guardian on Hapgood Read more About the Author Tom Stoppard's other work includes Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (Tony Award), Jumpers, Travesties (Tony Award), After Margritte, Enter a Free Man, Hapgood, Indian Ink (a stage adaptation of his own play, In the Native State), and The Invention of Love (Evening Standard Award).

Reviews
Stoppard is funny! Bought this for a kid in a High School Drama program to read Arcadia, and had forgotten just how funny Stoppard can be. Thick book. Decent binding and print size. If you need to buy any one of the great Stoppard scripts in this collection, get this one. It's five great plays for the price of one!
