Et in Arcadia Ego

I stayed up until 4:00 last night reading Tom Stoppard's Arcadia. It is amazing, and moving. I was profoundly affected by the time I finished.

Tom Stoppard is by far my favorite playwright, but I hadn't read Arcadia since we put it on during my sophomore year of high school. I had been meaning to for years. It put me in mind of Arwen and Ian, Rowena and Jules, and all those old drama people. I wonder how many of them will be at alumni day….
