| Plot Summary of The Coast of Utopia: Voyage |
|---|
"This is the first play in Tom Stoppard's trilogy _The Coast of Utopia_. It follows the Bakunin family in their Russian estate, particularly the son Michael. Set in the mid to late 1800s, "Voyage" describes the struggle of the young intelligensia coming to terms with Tsarist Russia's lack of literature and philosophy, and its repressive government, all through the lens of Western philosophy."
