Arcadia

Duke of York's Theatre Show Dates: 25 Jun 2026-12 Sep 2026

Set in a country house in Derbyshire, Arcadia follows two intertwined storylines across time. In the early 19th century, a teenage prodigy named Thomasina Coverly discovers mathematical truths about chaos and thermodynamics, while the adults around her - tutors, guests, and the household - attempt to discipline her passion with reason. Meanwhile, in the 1990s, scholars descend on the same estate, chasing the ghosts of that earlier era, seeking proof, revelation - and perhaps each other.

Pulsing with themes of order and disorder, the irreversible flow of time, the intersection of intellect and emotion, poetry and physics, Arcadia is brilliant, funny and deeply moving. Making its West End premiere after its initial staging at The Old Vic, the in‑the‑round staging of this revival heightens the play’s sense of immersion and immediacy.
