Arcadia by Tom Stoppard 24-26 February 2011

Tom Stoppard’s absorbing play takes us back and forth across the centuries and explores the nature of truth and time, the difference between the Classical and the Romantic temperament, and the disruptive influence of sex on our orbits in life – ‘the attraction which Newton left out’.
