Tom Stoppard's ARCADIA to Play This Fall at The Gamm

ARCADIA by Tom Stoppard, directed by FrEd Sullivan, Jr., will play The Gamm this fall, running Sept. 15-Oct. 16, 2016.

Recognized as one of the greatest plays of the last 50 years, Arcadia is a captivating, comedic cocktail of literary sleuthing, romantic entanglements and scientific discoveries. In a stately home in the British countryside, poets, tutors, historians and lovers roam the halls some 200 years apart, trying to solve their particular mystery. In the early 19th century, impetuous 13-year-old Thomasina and her tutor, Septimus, are discovering chaos theory too early. In the late 20th century, scholars Hannah and Bernard are piecing together history from the puzzling documents that remain. Along the way, there are mistaken identities, hermits, duels-and sex, the irrational force that brings everyone together and splits them apart with hilarious and tragic results.

Performances play the Sandra Feinstein-Gamm Theatre, 172 Exchange St., Pawtucket, RI. Previews (Sept. 15-18) $33. Regular tickets: $44 & $52 depending on day/time. Call 401-723-4266 or visit gammtheatre.org.
