About this Item
First Printing, in three volumes, of perhaps the playwright's crowning achievement, preceding the one-volume edition by four years. Small, slim 8vo: xii,[2],114; xii,[4],107,[1]; xiv,[2],120pp. Publisher's forest green, claret, and French blue cloth (respectively), spines stamped gilt, black end papers, without dust jackets (as issued); pictorial, paper-covered stiff board slipcase. A very smart production, As New (pristine). Baker & Wachs A29. Recipient of the 2007 Tony Award for Best Play. The title comes from a chapter in Avrahm Yarmolinsky's book Road to Revolution: A Century of Russian Radicalism (1959). "Historical figures again occupy the stage in Stoppard's The Coast of Utopia, three sequential "plays of ideas" set in Tzarist Russia, the trilogy exploring key issues of nineteenth-century European revolutionary thinking. . . . The attempt at engineering utopia is deemed a dangerous enterprise, . . . re-establishing a truth well-known to Stoppard's audiences, namely that "Utopia" will always remain the uninhabitable "nowhere".
