ARCADIA

Sonia Friedman Productions (SFP) announces the West End transfer of The Old Vic’s acclaimed and Olivier Award nominated production of Tom Stoppard’s Arcadia, brought thrillingly to life by acclaimed director Carrie Cracknell. The production runs at the Duke of York’s Theatre, Saturday 20 June – Saturday 12 September 2026.

Producer Sonia Friedman said: “Bringing Arcadia to the West End this summer feels less like a revival and more like a responsibility…This production, set in the intimacy of the Duke of York’s Theatre and led by Carrie Cracknell, captures that balance beautifully. It’s bold, clear-eyed, and full of feeling. For me, it’s not just a return to a great play, but a way of honouring a friendship and a body of work that meant the world to me, and to generations of audiences over the past decades.”

A dazzling collision of science and romance, Arcadia explores the beauty of curiosity, the ache of lost knowledge and the timeless thrill of discovery. 

In a country house, two centuries apart, genius, passion and discipline unfold. In 1809, teenage prodigy, Thomasina Coverly races ahead of her time – exploring mathematics, nature and the unpredictable forces that govern both the universe and the human heart. In the present day, author Hannah Jarvis investigates a mysterious chapter in the life of Lord Byron with precision, patience and rigour, determined to resist the pull of romanticised myth. 

As past and present intwine, their questions begin to echo across time: can we ever truly understand the patterns of life or are we forever poised on the edge of disorder?

Cast to be announced.
