Arcadia
by Tom Stoppard
Directed by Christopher Leo

Traveling back and forth between the past and the present, this poignant and charming mystery-comedy intersects art, mathematics and history, all within the walls of an English estate in Sidley Park.

You'll meet the precocious Thomasina Coverly, a 19th century mathematical prodigy, her eccentric tutor Septimus Hodge and the delightfully outlandish Lady Croom.

In the present, writer Hannah Jarvis and pompous English Don Bernard Nightingale work to solve a 200-year-old mystery. Scenes alternate between the 19th and 21st centuries, until they finally converge in a delightful and surprising conclusion.


Director Christopher Leo's talented cast includes Gregory Adams, Amber Louise Davis, Dell Domnik, Ryan Everett Howard, Michael Marlow, Jason Maxwell, Jamie Ann Romero, Lisa Rosenhagen, Austin Terrell, Jono Waldman, Terry Ann Watts and Noah Wilson.

"Christopher Leo has cast the principals beautifully and elicited splendid performances from them all. Erudite and sometimes self-indulgent, Stoppard’s dialogue always soars."
-David Marlowe, Out Front

"'Arcadia' is at heart a popcorn mystery — and a compelling one at that. It's about how sex and its resultant irrationality and hormones render all things scientific moot."
-John Moore, Denver Post
*** (out of four stars)

Not to be missed under any circumstances. Stoppard raises the bar for playwrights, and Firehouse Theatre sits right beside him on that bar.
