Stoppard on Charlie Rose
Stoppard has been on Charlie Rose many times. The entry at the bottom of the page, from 1995, has Stoppard talking about Arcadia. Stoppard comes on at the 21 minute mark of the video. A number of the other links are to rebroadcasts so there seems to be only 5 unique interviews here. Watch - there's very good material here. Posted by Mark Stracke on 03/10/2009; 1:54:14 PM Discuss
