Arcadia
Written by Tom Stoppard
Directed by Beth Watkins
November 21-24, 2002

In the present day, two scholars compete to uncover a possible scandal involving Lord Byron that fateful summer in 1809. Award-winning author Tom Stoppard (Shakespeare in Love) has crafted a riveting comedy that sparkles with wit, invention, and ideas as it moves back and forth between centuries.
