So I chose something else. But the guy whose turn followed mine was so entranced by the idea, he chose Arcadia!

It’s a fascinating play. Full of all the things that made #Stoppard such a marvelous playwright. It’s being staged at the Old Vic through March 21st. London isn’t in the cards for me, but if it comes to New York, I’m there!

I don't know how I missed the #movie Tulip Fever. I found it when i had a Tom Stoppard marathon the w/e he passed. I've mentioned what a fan i am of the genius, #existentialist playwright

It was so fantastic, I've been meaning to discuss it. He co-wrote the screenplay, which is 𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘵🤯

plus, the 𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘻𝘪𝘯𝘨 cast:
Cristoph Waltz
Alicia Vikander
Judi Dench
Tom Hollander (who's done a lot of #Stoppard's work)
also, Cara Delevigne & Zach Galifianakous

Highly recommend it💙

The director worked with theatre colossus Tom Stoppard on two smash hits. Here, he remembers their heated rehearsals, the night they stayed up watching Jaws – and the last four cigarettes they smoked together

The Guardian
I don’t think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little or make a poem which children will speak for you when you’re dead. #stoppard.
