Arcadia at Central Square Theater

Deemed "the greatest play of its time" by London's The Independent, Tom Stoppard's Arcadia crosses the boundaries of time to present big ideas and compelling characters. Set in a sprawling English country house, this Nora Theatre Company production moves between the 19th century and the present day, allowing the viewer a glimpse at the romances and scandals hidden in the manor's history. The audience sees the action in both time periods, while the characters -- even as they begin to share the same stage -- weave past each other in Arcadia's complicated dance, never able to connect because they are lost in time.
