"TOM STOPPARD'S MASTERPIECE. AN EXQUISITE REVIVAL."

Scott Brown, New York Magazine



"FEEL THE HEAT RISING. Arcadia is propelled by genuine, panting passion. A TRULY WONDERFUL, DEEPLY FELT PLAY. SEE IT."

Ben Brantley, The New York Times



Tom Stoppard's ARCADIA is now playing on Broadway for a limited engagement following a sold-out run in London. Directed by five-time Tony Award® nominee David Leveaux, ARCADIA is a masterpiece of misunderstanding and quest for knowledge resonating across centuries that John Lahr of The New Yorker calls "ONE OF THE GREAT PLAYS OF MY THEATERGOING LIFE."







"A TIME TRAVELING MASTERWORK. A RAVISHING ROMANCE.

DAVID LEVEAUX'S celebrated revival is emotionally exuberant."

Linda Winer, Newsday



"In revealing and celebrating the wanting in all of us, ARCADIA offers as thrilling and offers as thrilling and fulfilling a theatergoing experience as you'll likely have this season."

Elysa Gardner, USA Today



"ARCADIA STANDS TO LIVE FOREVER."

Marilyn Stasio, Variety

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Arcadia

Arcadia
9 / 10

The acting could hardly be better. (While I'm loathe to make direct comparisons, personally I preferred this cast to the original production's.) Riley could have come right out of a Jane Austen novel; he's witty, dashing, and completely crushable (a very important plot point). Williams is wonderfully prickly and has terrific chemistry with both Crudup and Raúl Esparza, who plays Valentine, the eccentric mathematician descendant of Thomasina. Crudup — who made his Broadway debut as Septimus, then won a 2007 Tony in Stoppard's The Coast of Utopia — appears to be acting in overdrive; perhaps he's just excited to be in a Stoppard play without being stuck in the 19th century. But even with an over-the-top Crudup, it's still a pretty fantastic evening.

'Arcadia' speaks indistinctly about past lives and loves
7 / 10

The revival’s design aspects are handsome – Donald Holder’s lighting nicely eases the transitions in time – while composer Corin Buckeridge’s piano music adds greatly to the show’s increasing wistfulness in mood. Keeping the play’s underlying emotions rather on the cool side, Leveaux grievously errs by usually pacing the conversations at a hasty clip. No doubt the director knows the play very well but he should not assume that American audiences can follow its British and Stoppardian intricacies quite so easily.

Review - Kin & Arcadia
by Ben Peltz - April 5, 2011


A Columbia literary scholar with a passion for the punctuation used in Keats' poetry starts dating a personal trainer who has moved to New York from Ireland.  Sounds like the beginning of a romantic comedy about a seemingly mismatched pair trying to get their conflicting worlds to mesh.

by Jessica Lewis - March 16, 2011


ARCADIA is set in April 1809 in a stately home in Derbyshire. Thomasina, a gifted pupil, proposes a startling theory, beyond her comprehension. All around her, the adults, including her tutor Septimus, are preoccupied with secret desires, illicit passions and professional rivalries. Two hundred years later, academic adversaries Hannah and Bernard are piecing together puzzling clues, curiously recalling those events of 1809, in their quest for an increasingly elusive truth.
