Arcadia
Quays Theatre, The Lowry, The Lowry
Thu, 23rd September 2010 - Sat, 9th October 2010
From £16.00*In 1812 a scandal rocked the Croom household in Derbyshire. A sexual liaison, possibly involving Lord Byron, apparently ended in a fatal duel. Two hundred years later, a pushy academic and a popular historian are trying to uncover the house’s true history. Landscape gardening, Newtonian physics, classicism versus romanticism and chaos theory are all part of this comic literary detective story, which is both an exuberant celebration of the unpredictability of love and sex, and a poignant study of change and decay. Arcadia’s wit, elegance and sheer exuberance have made it a modern classic. Manchester Library Theatre Company lead production sponsor Manchester Airport Group. ‘This is a brilliant, brilliant play. A play of ideas, of consummate theatricality, of sophisticated entertainment and of heartache never to be regained.’ The Sunday Times ‘Tom Stoppard is Britain’s greatest living playwright… Arcadia is his absolute best play.’ The Guardian ‘One of Tom Stoppard’s undisputed masterpieces.’ The Independent
