Oh God I can't stand how the actress portrays Thomasina as such an annoying little brat--it completely dilutes the meaning of the play! Thomasina is the true "genius of the place", and the only one who doesn't let her arrogance in the way! Her musings of Euclid and god should be just that--musings, said in a soft, thoughtful manner, not presented like statements of absolute truth! I think the actress is taking rather too many cues from Bernard...
Does anyone know if the marvellous 1993 BBC3 Radio Broadcast of Arcadia (which featured the original London cast including Bernard Nighy and Felicity Kendal) will ever be available on CD? I've been trying to find it for YEARS but no luck! Please help!
Oooh my gosh how intelligent the girl Thomasina is... She so open to her tutor... While her tutor is misguiding her she finds the mistakes of her tutor and she asks her not to explain the wrong things to her.... She wants her tutor to explain the fermat's theorem and the other scientific things when her tutor is explaining her about the carnal... He always talks with her about the love and romantic feelings... As she is young she wants to know each and everything what she don't know yet.... She is the only intelligent girl in the play....
I am in the same boat as you. I keep hearing how brilliant this play is, but no recordings of a performance by anybody (beyond an expurgated high school version) seems available anywhere.
@@MrHarun-dv6ee Yes, I would like that. I did find a theater company doing a production of it, which I attended last year, but a recorded performance would be great!
