Tom Stoppard's masterpiece is brought thrillingly to life by acclaimed Director, Carrie Cracknell and is playing a strictly limited run.

Brilliant minds. Burning hearts. The timeless struggle between chaos and order. A country house is home to geniuses in Tom Stoppard's witty, moving, and flirtatious play. In the early 19th century, a teenage prodigy uncovers the mathematics of the universe while the adults around her battle to keep desire beneath the surface. In the present day, modern scholars run to that same house, unravelling its secrets as they search for truth, proof, and perhaps love.

It's worth the applause! Arcadia won the Olivier Awards for Best New Play in 1993, and went on to win the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Play, and a Tony Award for Best Play. Tom Stoppard is one of the most internationally performed dramatists of his generation, and is the recipent of an Oscar, an Olivier Award and  5 Tony's. He was given a knighthood for his contribution to theatre in 1997. In 2008, The Daily Telegraph ranked him number 1 in their list of the '100 most powerful people in British culture'.
