The production of Tom Stoppard’s play transfers from The Old Vic Theatre.
It has been announced that Carrie Cracknell’s production of Tom Stoppard’s Arcadia will run at the Duke of York’s Theatre from the 20th June until the 12th September.
While casting has yet to be announced, tickets are on sale now.
Talking of the news, producer Sonia Friedman said: “Bringing Arcadia to the West End this summer feels less like a revival and more like a responsibility.
Tom was a great friend, and over more than twenty years as his producer I had the privilege of living closely with his work: watching it evolve, seeing how rigorously, deeply, and mischievously he thought, and how much he cared about every detail, whether it was a new work or a revival. Arcadia, though, always stood apart. It holds so much of what made him extraordinary – its playfulness, precision, wit, romance, and that deep curiosity about how we make sense of the world.
Coming back to it now, I’m struck all over again by how alive it feels. Its ideas about time, truth, and what we can and can’t know don’t belong to the past, they feel immediate, even urgent. But what moves me most is its humanity: the way it holds intellect and emotion in the same breath, never letting one overshadow the other. That’s Tom.”
Meanwhile, the creative team behind the production includes: Set Designer Alex Eales; Costume Designer: Suzanne Cave; Lighting Designer: Guy Hoare; Sound Designer: Donato Wharton; Movement: Ira Mandela Siobhan; Composer: Stuart Earl and Casting: Serena Hill CDG.
