This play was simply so much fun, although it is pretty inaccessible due to the highly technical knowledge required to understand it (I never thought a play would have me googling entrophy, but here I am). Stoppard masterfully intertwines the two plotlines over the course of the drama, culminating in the simply iconic line "fucked by a dahlia!" which still makes me giggle to myself whenever I think about it. It's on my bucket list of plays I want to see in a theatre, and garners bonus marks for the absolutely hilarious references to Lord Byron, who manages to be the best character without having a single line.
