How the p-list has warped me.

Warning: More Stoppard than TRP--
I taught 'Arcadia' to several classes of Advance Placement high schoolers
last month, in conjunction w/seeing an excellent production in Philadelphia.
  Most students relished the fractals/entropy/chaos theory: rarely do their
academic subjects intersect and overlap in such ways.  I sent them on
research projects, mimicking the play's process, and I had a few read TRP's
"Entropy" as a parallel.  Maybe I should go back and teach 'Lot 49' again...
 I'd recommend the play to TRP-types, certainly.  (And BTW, Bernard, after
his devastating invective, says, "It's no fun when it's not among pros, is
it?")
