Arcadia, presented by Actors Guild of Lexington

From the Academy Award-winning screenwriter of Shakespeare in Love comes this dazzling play of wit, romance, genius and poetry. Widely regarded as one of the most brilliant plays of the 20th century, Arcadia is an intriguing mystery that takes place in both 1809 and the present day. Set in a large country house in Derbyshire, the drama plays on the emotions, carefully mixing sadness and humor, at times leaving the audience unsure whether to laugh or cry. Although it broaches high-brow subjects like the chaos theory and the second law of thermodynamics, the play is wickedly funny and accessible to all, and includes lashings of Stoppard’s legendary humor and wit.
