Arcadia

by Tom Stoppard

23rd - 26th November 2017

at Victory Hall

This wonderfully witty play by one of our greatest living playwrights transports us between events in a grand country house in 1809 and the present day when two writers struggle to interpret these events using what evidence they can find, each hoping to further their own academic credibility. Everything is here, from sheer farce to intellectual debate. Throw into the mix a motley assortment of brilliantly drawn characters, a tortoise, Fermat's last theorem, a hermit and the history of landscaping and we have an absorbing, challenging and entertaining play. Best to keep a clear head and save that drink at The Greyhound until after the show!
