This fifth collection of Tom Stoppard's plays brings together five classic plays by one of the most celebrated dramatists writing in the English language.

The collection includes The Real Thing, Night & Day, Hapgood, Indian Ink and Arcadia, about which the reviewer for the Daily Telegraph said 'I have never left a new play more convinced that I'd just witnessed a masterpiece'.

Arcadia
I have never left a new play more convinced that I'd just witnessed a masterpiece. -- Daily Telegraph
This is a brilliant, brilliant play. A play of ideas, of consummate theatricality, of sophisticated entertainment and of heartache for time never to be regained. -- Sunday Times
The Real Thing
In The Real Thing he [Stoppard] combines some fly Pirandellian games with an unequivocal statement about the joyousness of shared passion. And the result is the rare thing in the West End (or anywhere else for that matter): an intelligent play about love. -- Guardian
Night & Day;
How excellent it is to leave a theatre thinking as this play makes you think. -- Financial Times
Hapgood
Hapgood is a new variation on one of Stoppard's abiding themes: the black romance of reality and appearance. This is a metaphysical spy-thriller, intricate, elegant, and lucid...for sheer intellectual excitement, Hapgood has no rival. -- Sunday Times
Tom Stoppard's most cunning play--a dazzling, double game of physics and espionage--remarkable. -- Guardian
