One war has ended, but another is just beginning. Beatrice and Benedick enter into a battle of the wits, even as the magnetic attraction between them grows stronger. See who will win -- or perhaps both will surrender in Shakespeare's effervescent romantic comedy from Bad Habit Productions. Director Daniel Morris has cast only five actors to play all roles, resulting in a flurry of quick costume changes, gender-bending and lots of surprises along the way.

Arcadia: A.C.T.'s New Production of Stoppard's Masterwork

Full Price:
$25.00 - $90.00
Our Price:
$12.50 - $54.00

The praise for Sir Tom Stoppard's masterpiece Arcadia could not be more effusive. A reviewer from The Daily Telegraph gushed, "I have never left a play more convinced that I had just witnessed a masterpiece." Whereas The Independent wondered if it might be "the greatest play of its time." The reason for such enthusiasm might be found in Stoppard's uncanny blend of brainy discussion and down-to-earth emotion. In this play alive with ideas -- about Byron, entropy, history and heat -- the human characters are never lost or diminished, but somehow made more real by their participation in a conversation that seems to span centuries. Set in a sprawling English country house, Arcadia moves between the 19th century and the present through a series of love stories, while characters from both eras discover connections, unearth mysteries and unravel hidden truths. Artistic Director Carey Perloff helms the American Conservatory Theater's dazzling new production of this modern-day masterwork. Learn More

The small theater was a great venue for Shakespeare because we could hear all the dialog. There were some clever and funny interpretations as well a couple stand-out performances.

This was a lot of fun. The actors did a great job with all the quick changes and really brought this comedy to life. It's nice to be so close up.

This was one of the most enjoyable evenings at the theatre that I have had in a while. Good energy, good acting. Everything was done with great imagination, and I loved the intimate experience of the studio theatre. I would highly recommend this production--I am thinking of going again this weekend!

I purchased tickets to this marvelous show as a gift for my husband's birthday. We both love Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing," and we both enjoy things "with a twist", so it seemed like a good bet, but we weren't sure what to expect. It turned out to be a wonderful production! The actors were extremely talented and very funny, and managed to convey a respect for the original material while adding just the right amount of irreverence. I think Shakespeare would have though it delightful. I know we did! The tickets through Goldstar were an extraordinary value. We had a fabulous time and recommend it enthusiastically!
