Arcadia, Sir Tom Stoppard’s witty, moving and flirtatious masterpiece, is now in previews at The Old Vic.

Set in a country house, across two centuries, two stories of passion, genius and the mathematics of the universe unfold in one of the most dazzling plays of the 20th century. We joined actors Fiona Button (Lady Croom), Seamus Dillane (Septimus Hodge) and Isis Hainsworth (Thomasina Coverly) to discover what it’s been like to work on this ‘mind-blowing’ play.

Arcadia plays from 24 Jan–21 Mar 2026.
