It is almost impossible to explain what Tom Stoppard’s 1993 masterpiece is about. In layman’s terms: Arcadia involves a lot of clever people who wittily discuss ideas (think: mathematical data and scientific theories) and then scamper off to have sex with each other.

Why see it? If the simple fact that it is written by one of Britain’s greatest ever playwrights isn’t enough (RIP), then we will leave you with this: it will make you think and feel in equal measure.

Melodrama Must-See
GIANT
New York

“I was lucky enough to see this at The Royal Court and it was unforgettable. John Lithgow transforms into a complex, curmudgeonly Roald Dahl and leaves you with your jaw on the floor by the play's end. Sophisticated in its writing, Giant is deceptively witty, haunting and timely.”
