Next: Tom Stoppard's Arcadia
When
- Friday
- Feb. 10, 2012
Description
The New York Times praised Arcadia as a "perfect marriage of ideas and high comedy." Arcadia won the Tony Award for Best Play 2005 and again this year for Best Revival of a Play.
"We love bringing scripts to life that have sparkling wit and brilliant language side by side with sex, romance and complex ideas," said Austin Shakespeare's Artistic Director Ann Ciccolella.
Arcadia traverses the past and the present in alternating scenes at the same English country home from 1809 to 1993 when academics, mathematicians and literary types of the present seek to uncover a mystery in the home and garden two hundred years earlier. Audiences will be captivated by the whirlwind stirred up by Lord Byron, who is an unseen visitor to the 19th Century characters. The parallel lives climax in a masquerade garden party with 20th Century characters waltzing the same moment of transformation with the lovers of the early 19th Century.
To enhance the romantic mood for Valentine's Day weekend, Austin Shakespeare is hosting an unforgettable evening Saturday, February 11, 2012, including traditional English High Tea at 5 pm preceding the show at a lovely Austin private home, with an array of delicious teas, delectable tea sandwiches and authentic British sweets provided by Full English Cafe.
