The play had its first performance in London in 1993. Of Stoppard's "high comedies of ideas", Arcadia is surely the funniest, most affecting, and readily comprehended. It immediately touches the heart." Bound in dark green Japanese cloth with light green paper title labels to front cover and spine.
