Arcadia

Tom Stoppard’s multi-award winning comedy Arcadia has just started previews at the Gate. Cleverly fusing past and present, the thrills of a gripping literary detective story in a tale of mystery and love make this play, first staged in 1993 with a cast that included Rufus Sewell, Felicity Kendal and Bill Nighy, something of a masterpiece. This time around Ingrid Craigie heads the cast, with Patrick Mason directing. www.gate-theatre.ie
