tom stoppard for the nobel prize

really. he rocks big time. i substituted for mr lim for A12 (the week i wasn't supposed to take them) when he had to go NS and it was worth it though i was hacking away with cough because they gave a rocking reading of The Real Inspector Hound.

but seriously, if you thought The Real Inspector Hound rocked, wait till you read Arcadia by Tom Stoppard. The music of the ideas, dialogue and play of pathos is just heady. And I heard Stoppard recently came up with more champion plays. And guess what, one of them is called "RocknRoll". haha. Nobel got it right recently with J.M. Coetzee and they better get it right soon with Tom Stoppard. In fact, I thought Stoppard already got the Nobel before. It's quite a travesty that he hasn't gotten it...
