Arcadia at the Old Vic was very good.
In many ways a companion piece to Stoppard's Indian Ink, with its parallel stories of modern-day literary researchers and the lived lives in the past (which they misunderstand).
But whereas the earlier play used art and literature as its ostensible subject, in Arcadia there is a rich discussion of mathematics and chaos theory.
We enjoyed this muchly. A strong production, with a lot to untangle (and some good jokes).
