Arcadia comes alive in the Alexander Kasser Theater on the campus of Montclair State University from November 18-21st. Arcadia, on the Royal Institution’s 2006 shortlist for “best science book ever written,” investigates the relationships between the past and present, intimacy among people and the certainty of science. Astonishing in its breadth, Arcadia travels seamlessly between 1809 and the present, embracing elements of haunting romantic tragedy, suspenseful mystery, and hilarious sex farce. Tom Stoppard’s dazzling comic masterpiece is among the most intelligent and poignantly human plays of our time.

This production of Arcadia, directed by Susan Kerner, with dramaturgy by Neil Baldwin, features performances from students in Montclair State University’s Department of Theatre and Dance.

Critically acclaimed director Susan Kerner has worked internationally in theaters from London to Shanghai as well as in major regional houses across the country. She is a noted faculty member in Montclair State University's College of the Arts. Neil Baldwin is professor of dramaturgy, theater criticism, and arts administration in the College of the Arts at Montclair State University. His 1997 screenplay on Man Ray, for WNET-13’s “American Masters Series,” was nominated for an Emmy Award.
