Derbyshire, England, 1809: A brilliant thirteen year-old, Lady Thomasina Coverly, proposes a scientific theory with implications well beyond her own understanding. Her tutor, Septimus Hodge, engages in romantic entanglements with the lady of the house, among others. In Arcadia, Tom Stoppard explores themes of time, knowledge, love, and chaos – a dazzling theatrical experience that fuses romance, mystery, and the thrill of scientific discovery. One of CST’s most popular productions, we’re thrilled to bring an all new production of Arcadia, a play praised by The New York Times as “A play of wit, intellect, language, brio and.. emotion.. Exhilarating!’
