ARCADIA

Written by Tom Stoppard

11-21 AUGUST 2022
Little Theatre

At the centre of this play about fate, mathematics, feminism, gardening and apples is the story of a group of people who simply can’t get it together when it comes to things that are actually important.

It’s 1809 and thirteen year old Thomasina is a precocious mathematical genius, making sense of the world around her: her mother is obsessed with gardening, her tutor is having it off with the wife of a houseguest and the famous Lord Byron is causing mischief.

As battle lines are drawn across the school table, a demand for satisfaction has terrible consequences.

Meanwhile, present day writer Hannah Jarvis navigates descendants of the Coverly clan, and the mysterious events that happened 200 years ago and exactly who the shadowy figure of death is that haunts the garden at Sidley Park…
