Tom Stoppard’s 1993 modern classic, Arcadia had Whatsonstage.com Theatregoers thinking last night as we enjoyed this thoroughly entertaining comedy of ideas at the Duke of York’s theatre.

Two writers search out the history of the Croom country house; meanwhile the history plays itself out before us in real time. And so the actual story and the history of that story begin to twine before our eyes. Asking questions about the way we understand the world from mathematical therom to poetry and the substance of history this play not only asked us to think but made us laugh aswell. The very impressive cast including Samantha Bond, Neil Pearson and Ed Stoppard are expertly directed by David Leveaux and sustain the pace of this witty, wordy and downright clever play.

Please do feel free to email your comments and thoughts about the play, as well as any photos you have of the event and the evening through to feedback@whatsonstage.com, we love to hear from you.

Thanks for joining us for this event, and do check the homepage to keep up to date on all of our upcoming Outings.
