Arcadia (1993)

Arcadia (1993) Book Cover

An English playwright named Tom Stoppard. This play is set in a large English country house named Sidley Park, Derbyshire, and the stage [directions] and theatrical properties are shared across two time periods, 180 years apart in the early 19th and late 20th centuries. These super-positioned timelines are a concept that is difficult to comprehend for a play; but Stoppard, with the mastery of his English language, allows you to understand and feel comfortable with this bizarre setting, catching yourself absorbed in this play, trusting to follow him on his time machine. I really enjoyed this read, and give this play an 8/10 rating.
