Sir Tom Stoppard (1937-2025)

[Belgrove]

The Old Vic in London is staging a new production of Arcadia from 24th January next year. A shame that Sir Tom is no longer here to experience it. It’s a superb play, firing on all cylinders with afterburners attatched. And has unexpected consequences, as Pulcie’s quote demonstrates.

Are any of Stoppard's plays available as audiobooks? There's a collection on Amazon that requires you to subscribe to Audible, and I found a couple (Arcadia, The Real Thing) on an American website called LA Theatre Works, but how you download them or buy them is mysterious (to me at least....)

The radio version of Professional Foul was wonderful too:

A film of Rosenkrantz & Guildenstern, directed by Tom Stoppard, appears to be available on YouTube.

[Ein Heldenleben]

I wish the BBC would rebroadcast their superb recording of The Invention Of Love with the NT cast. A really glorious audio experience which I have on cassette but , irritatingly, no player.
