Ahhh Tom Stoppard passed away.
He wrote a number of plays (& screenplays) of note but for me the work that will always stick with me is Arcadia. I read it as a teenager and have seen it performed several times as an adult. There are certain stories that evoke a feeling so sharply and strongly that they come to define that emotion for you. Arcadia is one of those stories for me.
Rest in peace, Tom Stoppard. I hope some day to write a story that has touched people the way your work has.
