Tom Stoppard's Arcadia merges science with human concerns and ideals, examining the universe's influence in our everyday lives and ultimate fates through relationship between past and present, order and disorder and the certainty of knowledge. Set in an English country house in the year 1809-1812 and 1989, the play examines the lives of two modern scholars and the house's current residents with the lives of those who lived there 180 years earlier. The New York Times calls Arcadia: ?Tom Stoppard's richest, most ravishing comedy to date. A play of wit, intellect, language, brio and emotion?. Includes an interview with Steven Strogatz, author of Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos. An L.A. Theatre Works full-cast performance featuring Kate Burton, Mark Capri, Jennifer Dundas, Gregory Itzin, David Manis, Christopher Neame, Peter Paige, Darren Richardson, Kate Steele, Serena Scott Thomas and Douglas Weston
