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

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.
