University of Adelaide Theatre Guild continues its stellar 2022 season with the critically acclaimed ARCADIA by celebrated English playwright Tom Stoppard. Tickets are now on sale for this strictly limited season - 8 shows only.
Regarded as one of the best science-related works ever written by the Royal Institution of Great Britain, ARCADIA is an enthralling drama, that's part detective story, part rom-com and part scientific fantasy.
ARCADIA is a play about fate, mathematics, feminism, gardening, apples and utter randomness but at the centre of it all is the story of a group of people who simply can't get it together when it comes to things that are actually important.
This exciting Theatre Guild production is directed by Matthew Chapman, who is also a teacher with degrees in Drama, English and Education. Matthew was initially drawn to ARCADIA's debates on learning and inspiration, but being the old romantic that he is, stayed for the warmth of Stoppard's characters and hopes that they share that warmth on a cold winter's night.
As battle lines are drawn across the school table, a demand for satisfaction has terrible consequences.
Meanwhile, in the present day, writer Hannah Jarvis navigates descendants of the Coverly clan, a jumped up academic and time itself to investigate Thomasina's discoveries, the mysterious events that happened 200 years ago and exactly who the shadowy figure of death is that haunts the garden at Sidley Park…
ARCADIA by Tom Stoppard plays at Little Theatre Victoria Drive (Gate 10), The Cloisters, The University of Adelaide from 11th - 21st August 2022. Select from the following performances:
