The box office for Tom Stoppard’s Arcadia opens today for ticket purchase at the Ethel Barrymore theater, located on 243 West 47 Street. Arcadia’s previews begin on Feb. 26 with opening night set for Mar. 17 and a limited run until June 19, 2011.

Arcadia is set in April 1809 in a stately home in Derbyshire.  Thomasina, a gifted pupil, proposes a startling theory, beyond her comprehension. All around her, the adults, including her tutor Septimus, are preoccupied with secret desires, illicit passions and professional rivalries. Two hundred years later, academic adversaries Hannah and Bernard (Lia Williams and Billy Crudup) are piecing together puzzling clues, curiously recalling those events of 1809, in their quest for an increasingly elusive truth.

Directed by David Leveaux, the cast includes Margaret Colin, Billy Crudup, Raúl Esparza, Glenn Fleshler, Grace Gummer, Edward James Hyland, Byron Jennings, Bel Powley, Tom Riley, Noah Robbins, David Turner and Lia Williams.
