Brilliant minds. Burning hearts. The irresistible pull between chaos and order.

Don’t miss The Old Vic’s ‘must-see’ (The Telegraph) production of Arcadia by Sir Tom Stoppard as it transfers to the West End this summer following its critically acclaimed run.

A dazzling collision of science and romance, Arcadia explores the beauty of curiosity, the ache of lost knowledge and the timeless thrill of discovery 

In a country house, two centuries apart, genius, passion and discipline unfold. In 1809, teenage prodigy, Thomasina Coverly races ahead of her time – exploring mathematics, nature and the unpredictable forces that govern both the universe and the human heart.

In the present day, author Hannah Jarvis investigates a mysterious chapter in the life of Lord Byron with precision, patience and rigor, determined to resist the pull of romanticised myth. 

As past and present intwine, their questions begin to echo across time: can we ever truly understand the patterns of life or are we forever poised on the edge of disorder?
