Tom Stoppard has a strong claim to the title of Britain’s greatest living playwright, and this is considered by many to be his finest play. Part romance, part comedy, part detective story, this playful and poignant celebration of unpredictability brings in mathematics, literature and the perpetual conflict between the head and the heart. With Lord Byron and Capability Brown on the periphery of proceedings, the action takes place in a country house, switching between the years 1809 and 1993. The impossibility of ever completely understanding the past and the importance of living life to the full in the present are recurring themes in a satisfyingly complex plot where nothing is quite as it seems.
Arcadia shows at Birmingham's New Alexandra Theatre from Mon 23 to Sat 28 March. We've joined with the venue to offer readers the chance to win a pair of tickets to the opening night performance at 7.30pm.
