   Plays Three: A Separate Peace Teeth Another Moon Called Earth Neutral Ground Professional Foul Squaring the Circle Introduced by the author, this third collection of plays written by Tom Stoppard contains his television plays, written between 1965 and 1984. They show that Stoppard's writing for the small screen is comparable to his more celebrated stage work, as the masterly and timely Professional Foul demonstrates. In his introduction the author briefly describes how the pieces came to be written and the circumstances of their original production.

   Flora Crewe, a young poet travelling in India in 1930, has her portrait painted by a local artist. More than fifty years later, the artist's son visits Flor'as sister in London while her would-be biographer is following a cold trail in India. The alternation of place and period in Tom Stoppard's new play (based on his radio play In The Native State) makes for a rich and moving exploration of intimate lives set against one of the great shafts of history, the emergence of the Indian subcontinent from the grip of Europe.

   The play begins with Max and Charlotte, a couple whose marriage seems about to rupture. But nothing one sees on a stage is the real thing, and some things are less real than others. Charlotte is an actress who has been appearing in a play about marriage by her husband, Henry. Max, her leading man, is also married to an actress, Annie. Both marriages are at the point of rupture because Henry and Annie have fallen in love. But is it the real thing? In The Real Thing, Tom Stoppard combines his characteristically brilliant wordplay and wit with flashes of insight that illuminate the nature — and the mystery of love, creating a multi-toned play that challenges the mind while searching out the innermost secrets of the heart.

Included in this volume is «In the Native State», which became the stage play «Indian Ink». «Albert's Bridge» won the Italia Prize and «In the Native State» won a Sony Award.

   »Dalliance», «Undiscovered Country», «Rough Crossing», «On the Razzle», «The Seagull». This fourth volume of Tom Stoppard's work for the stage brings together five of his most celebrated translations and adaptations of plays by Arthur Schnitzler («Dalliance» and «Undiscovered Country»), Ferenc Molnar («Rough Crossing», a classic farce set aboard an ocean liner), Johann Nestroy («On the Razzle», a mad chase through Vienna), and Anton Chekhov («The Seagull», the classic Russian country tale). According to «The Times» of London, «Adaptation in Stoppard's terms means finding a sympathetic text and using it as a springboard for invention that leaves the original far behind». In adapting these plays — some classics, some nearly forgotten — for the modern stage, Tom Stoppard has added his own unique elements of dazzling wit and verbal brilliance, hilarious parody and cutting satire, to create works that stand as exceptional works of theater that do not belong to any one age.
 
Arcadia Arcadia

   »Arcadia» takes us back and forth between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, ranging over 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. Focusing on the mysteries—romantic, scientific, literary—that engage the minds and hearts of characters whose passions and lives intersect across scientific planes and centuries, it is “Stoppard’s richest, most ravishing comedy to date, a play of wit, intellect, language, brio and... emotion. It’s like a dream of levitation: you’re instantaneously aloft, soaring, banking, doing loop-the-loops and then, when you think you’re about to plummet to earth, swooping to a gentle touchdown of not easily described sweetness and sorrow...
