Arcadia
Arcadia by Tom Stoppard has been hailed as one the great plays of the late 20th Century. The play moves seamlessly back and forth between 1809 and the present day at the elegant estate owned by the Coverly family.
This brilliant, comic play explores the nature of truth, time, gardening and science – and the disruptive influence of sex on our lives, the one attraction that Newton left out.
