Arcadia
Shaver Theater Dalrymple Drive, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70802
"Stoppard's richest, most ravishing comedy to date, a play of wit, intellect, language, brio and…emotion. Exhilarating!" said the New York Times of Tom Stoppard's classic Arcadia. The play shuttles effortlessly between 1809 and the present day at the elegant Coverly estate. In 1809 the brilliant thirteen-year-old Lady Thomasina and her tutor delve into intellectual and romantic issues. Her story is interlaced with the present, in which the Coverly descendants research a scandal involving Lord Byron. A sparkling exploration into the nature of truth and time. George Judy directs LSU Theatre's production. 7:30 pm performances on February 14—17 and 20—24, 2 pm matinees on February 18 & 25 in the Music & Dramatic Arts building on the LSU campus.
