| Description: | Select Guide Rating The classicism of Lady Croom's grounds are being turned into a romantic chaos. In a room overlooking the work, her daughter and tutor are disturbed by, among others, Lady Croom and Ezra Chater. In the same room, 180 years later, a group try unsuccessfully to unravel the events of 1809. This is Tom Stoppard''s award-winning play, set in Derbyshire. The orderly classicism of Lady Croom''s Capability Brown grounds are being turned into picturesque romantic chaos, as fashion dictates, by landscape architect Culpability Noakes. In a Regency room overlooking the work is Lady Croom''s brilliant adolescent daughter - Thomasina Coverly, with her handsome, clever tutor Septimus Hodge. Their maths lesson is disturbed by, among others, the imperious, amorous Lady Croom and Ezra Chater, a cuckold and minor poet, determined on satisfaction. One hundred and eighty years later, in the same room, a corresponding group, comprising a mathematician, a biographer/historian, and a vulgar academic, try to unravel the events of 1809 - with spectacularly wrong results. |
