Teaching it at Alevel resulted in me looking up Plautus (the name of the tortoise) in an idle moment & discovering that all TS’s characters corresponded to a Plautus comedy. And you can analyse the scenes in a Newtonian object-pushing way too. Loved that he couldn’t stop making these jokes.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

Love this poem. An anthem. I often say to my partner that I’m trying really hard to hide my inner lizard at x or y thing/group & they say ‘I wouldn’t bother - we can all see it anyway.’ What to do with being Godzilla ?
