Tom Stoppard's ARCADIA

"This is a brilliant, brilliant play. A play of ideas, of consummate theatricality, of sophisticated entertainment and of heartache for a time never to be regained." The Sunday Times

Thirteen year old Thomasina Coverly, daughter to the Earl of Croom, thinks she has discovered a flaw in Sir Isaac Newton, in 1810. 

Ellen Adair plays Thomasina opposite Lewis Wheeler as Septimus Hodge, her Tutor

Meanwhile, in the present day, sparks fly as two competing researchers clash over their interpretations of what happened on the Coverly Estate.  The records are unusually complete and have never been worked on.

Nigel Gore plays Bernard Nightingale, a professor from the University of Sussex who is convinced he has discovered proof that Lord Byron fought and killed a fellow poet in a duel on the Coverly Estate.

Susanne Nitter plays Hannah Jarvis, the best-selling author who is haunted by the mystery surrounding Sidley Park.

Eric Hamel plays Valentine Coverly, the next Earl of Croom who discovers his ancestor may have been a mathematical genius.

Meanwhile, Thomasina's mother Lady Croom excoriates Landscape Architect Mr. Noakes for dredging up her English Country Garden in order to imitate the wild and furious Italian Lanscape paintings of Salvatore Rosa.  This crisis, together with her infatuation with the visiting Lord Byron, keeps her from attending to her Daughter Thomasina.

When it becomes known that Thomasina may have received instruction in more than mathematics, the entire family, including her ladyship's brother Captain Brice, decends to see if the child has been ruined.
