Arcadia

by Tom Stoppard

‘Stoppard’s richest, most ravishing comedy’ The New York Times

Arcadia is a dazzling and comic tale of mystery and love, with all the qualities of a gripping literary detective story.

The Gate Theatre is delighted to present this multi-award-winning comedy by one of the giants of modern playwriting. Author of such masterpieces as The Real Thing and Rock ‘n’ Roll as well as the screenplays Shakespeare In Love and Empire of the Sun, Arcadia is Stoppard’s undisputed masterpiece.

In a stately home in Derbyshire in the early 19th century, a young girl suddenly proposes a startling theory beyond her, and everyone else’s, understanding. Around her, however, the adults are preoccupied with secret desires and illicit passions.

Saturday Matinee at 3.00pm on selected dates.
