Arcadia

From acclaimed playwright Tom Stoppard, Arcadia is a witty and complex story that switches between two time periods, 1809 and 1999. In the earlier time period, thirteen year-old Thomasina makes a startling scientific discovery that will change the way people understand the world. Around her, the adults, including her tutor Septimus, are busy with their illicit passions, intense rivalries, and fast-fired bon mot. In 1999, residents and visitors of the same English estate have similar preoccupations, while they piece together puzzling clues to uncover its past scandals.
