Arcadia

Moving between 1809 and the present day, Arcadia traces the history of the Coverly family. As the 19th century family watches its elegant estate transform into the Romantic ideal of the day, thirteen year old Thomasina Coverly and her tutor struggle to crack open the mysteries of history and mathematics. In the present day, modern scholars compete to uncover the truth of what occurred at the estate two centuries ago. A story of love, loss, and the ephemeral nature of history, Arcadia is Tom Stoppard at his witty, lyrical best.
