by Tom Stoppard
Moving back and forth between 1809 and the present day, Arcadia takes place at the Coverley’s family estate. In 1809 the estate’s grounds are being landscaped into picturesque gardens that include a hermitage. We follow the brilliant Thomasina and her tutor Septimus as they explore mathematics, science and the nature of sexuality and romance. In the modern-day timeline, Coverley family descendants and scholars try to unearth the truth about a possible scandal at the estate, that might have involved Lord Byron.
Often called “a play for thinkers”, Arcadia weaves a spectacular story that will not only touch the mind but also the heart.
Recommended for age 14 and up.
