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

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

Written on Feb 15 2011We enjoyed the show.Marsha Mason was the supposed attraction but as it turned out she had the smallest part in the play.All of the other actor were good especially yhe actress who plyed Susanna.One in our party did not like it.

Written on Feb 14 2011My friend & I enjoyed the taping. It was her 1st experience & she's looking forward to going again. The play wasn't stellar & the pace was a bit off but it was still fun.

Written on Feb 14 2011I would not recommend this piece. I did not think it had sufficiently paced timing or dialogue for radio theater. Second Act was better than the first, but compared to other LATW shows I was very disappointed and am surprised it was a pulitzer finalist.

Written on Feb 11 2011An enjoyable evening will be seeing other events at the venue. Well worth the price of adminission.
Two negatives Marsha Mason role is not that large and the ending seems unfinished or when every thing is said and done nothing changes. But do go and see it you will be pleasantly surprised.

Description
Suzanna (Emily Bergl) sends her best friend Max (Matt Letscher) on a blind date with her husband's co-worker, the mysterious Becky Shaw. But when Becky arrives over-dressed for the date, it's clear things will not go as planned. And then there's Suzanna's mother (Marsha Mason) who adds her own element of chaos. Mixing sharp wit with taut suspense, this Pulitzer Prize-finalist is a comedy of blind dates and bad manners that keeps you on the edge of your seat!
