Set in a single room of one English country estate—but during two very different time periods—Arcadia weaves two interconnected story lines, revealing the consistency and persistence through history of human nature and human endeavor. 

Through sex, comedy, mathematics and more, the play muses on what fate takes away and what time can—and cannot—restore.

Project Director and ASC founding member Bethany Reeves leads this exploration of one of Britain’s most gifted, influential and knighted playwrights.
