In the round staging
Directed by Carrie Cracknell (The Grapes of Wrath), this production of Arcadia was first staged at The Old Vic, proving a huge hit for the venue. The play was performed in the round, as part of artistic director Matthew Warchus’ last season. Read a round-up of reviews of Arcadia here.
The auditorium of the Duke of York’s Theatre is being reconfigured for the West End transfer of the show, to accommodate the in-the-round staging.
New and returning cast
The West End transfer of Arcadia will see Isis Hainsworth (Red Rose, Romeo & Juliet) reprise her Olivier Award-nominated performance as Thomasina Coverly.
New to the production are Nikki Amuka-Bird (NW, Small Island) as Hannah Jarvis, and Oliver Chris (Rivals) as Bernard Nightingale, alongside Aaron Anthony as Richard Noakes, David Buttle as Captain Brice, Matthew Doswell as Gus Coverly / Augustus Coverly and Yolanda Kettle as Lady Croom.
Returning to the production following The Old Vic run are Angus Cooper as Valentine Coverly, Seamus Dillane as Septimus Hodge, Tim Frances as Jellaby, Holly Godliman as Chloë Coverly, and Matthew Steer as Ezra Chater.
Understudies are Alex Britt, Peta Cornish and Keziah Hayes.
Tom Stoppard’s time-jumping drama
Arcadia is written by multi-award-winner Tom Stoppard (Leopoldstadt, Indian Ink, The Invention of Love, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, Shakespeare in Love), who died in December aged 88.
Billed as a dazzling collision of science and romance, Arcadia shifts back and forth in time between the early 1800s and the present, all set at an elegant country estate owned by the Coverly family.
The Old Vic production of Arcadia is produced in the West End by Sonia Friedman Productions (Paddington The Musical) and Winkler & Smalberg.
Joining Carrie Cracknell in the creative team are set designer Alex Eales, costume designer Suzanne Cave, lighting designer Guy Hoare, sound designer Donato Wharton, movement director Ira Mandela Siobhan and composer Stuart Earl.
