	Nowra Players Presents - Arcadia Arcadia By Tom Stoppard Arcadia begins in the stately home of Sidley Park in 1809. Lady Croom’s brilliant daughter Thomasina is being tutored by the handsome young Septimus Hodge whilst around them the grounds of Sidley Park are being transformed into the picturesque, landscape fashion of the time. From here we are transported to the present day where a corresponding collection of characters try to answer questions about the events of 1809. Considered to be one of Tom Stoppard’s best plays, Arcadia is a historical “who dunit” with a blend of literary history, chaos theory, landscape gardening all woven together by Stoppard’s brilliantly clever, witty dialogue delivered by a group of very human characters. The play shifts effortlessly between the two time frames keeping the audience on their toes trying to keep up with the unfolding puzzle.
