ARCADIA
by Tom Stoppard
Directed by Ellis Baker
Playwright Tom Stoppard's time-jumping modern masterpiece
focuses on the relationship between the past and present residents of
an English country house. Encompassing many endeavors of the mind --
from mathematics and physics to poetry and landscape architecture --
Stoppard's play is wildly intelligent, extremely funny, and poignantly
human.Arcadia is a moveable feast for the eyes, ears, heart and mind. The time period shifts between 1809 and modern day, characters express their philosophical meanderings at the slightest provocation, scientific relativity and mathematical theories abound, the text explores landscaping design of the English garden, and there’s even ruminations about carnal embrace. But at the heart of the play is a fixation on seeking the truth – whether you find it, or even know what you’re looking for is not as important as the actual quest itself.
