The Coast of Utopia is an ambitious trilogy of plays by Tom Stoppard, written between 2002 and 2003, that explores the lives, ideas, and struggles of 19th-century Russian intellectuals and revolutionaries. 'Voyage' focuses on the young Bakunin family and introduces the idealistic passions of Michael Bakunin and his circle, set against the backdrop of rural Russia and university life in Moscow in the 1830s. 'Shipwreck' shifts to Paris, Dresden, and various European cities, following the exiled Alexander Herzen and his encounters with the fallout of the failed 1848 revolutions. This part delves into personal and ideological conflicts among the characters as they wrestle with the challenges of revolutionary ideals versus lived realities. 'Salvage' follows Herzen in London during the 1850s and 1860s, exploring his commitment to Russian liberation, his writings, and his struggles with disillusionment as he grapples with personal loss and the complexities of promoting reform from afar. The trilogy is considered one of Stoppard's major works, admired for its depth, complexity, and historical insight.
