Note: Our production of Arcadia has ended. Thank you to everyone who came to see the shows, you were a delightful audience!
April 10th, 1809: In a country house in Derbyshire, the garden is uprooted, romantic poets cause chaos, and a young girl makes revolutionary scientific and mathematical discoveries.
200 years later, academics try to piece together the mystery of what happened that day.
Our next production will be Tom Stoppard’s Arcadia, directed by Melanie Löw and Jonas Biedermann. Written in the 1990s, Arcadia is one of the most exciting, funny, nerdy and all-around brilliant plays – Join us as we explore the relationship between past and present, order and chaos, the sciences and the humanities, Classicism and Romanticism, and a whole lot more!
Shows will be on May 24th, 25th, 26th, 30th, 31st, and June 1st. They will start at 19:30 except on Sunday, May 26th at 16:30.
Bar and box office will open an hour before shows start and doors to the theatre will open half an hour before. The shows are at our usual stage, the cellar theatre at Nadelberg 6.
The show on May 26th will be followed by a free Q&A session with members of the cast and the production team, which is open to all (even if you do not have a ticket for the show). You will be able to ask questions about the play or about the production process.

Programme
While Arcadia makes for a great first watch, it has many fun details and intricacies that might be difficult to follow for those unfamiliar with the play. There are print programmes at our shows which contain a glossary, a scene-by-scene summary, and notes on its themes and historical context. If you want to read up in advance, you can read our programme in virtual form.
