A NOTE FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR Welcome to Tom Stoppard’s Arcadia and the opening of Yale Rep’s 2014–15 season! Tom Stoppard’s plays are among the most beloved and most frequently produced contemporary plays of both this century and the last. Most recently at our theatre, Rough Crossing, his rollicking adaptation of Molnár’s Play at the Castle, delighted audiences in 2008. Yet this production of Arcadia marks the first time that the play has been professionally staged in Connecticut, and so I am especially delighted that you are here today to share the work of this tremendously gifted company of actors and the creative team with whom I have been collaborating for the last several months. Arcadia is a deep and deeply generous work, spinning and weaving science and art, a whodunit and a romance, historical time and theatrical time, with jokes. The play is profoundly concerned with the way we seek to understand our lives, our loves, and our universe: as one character says, “It’s wanting to know that makes us matter.” Tom’s genius is his ability to theatricalize this subject matter as an event—in the imaginative leaps made by actors and audiences together, “the unpredictable and the predetermined unfold together to make everything the way it is.” I look forward to sharing with you the other unpredictable and predetermined theatrical adventures to unfold later this season. Our OBIE Award winning Resident Director Liz Diamond will stage Bertolt Brecht’s The Caucasian Chalk Circle with a creative team that also includes Pulitzer Prize winning composer David Lang in the spring of 2015. And Yale Rep is honored to present three world premieres by extraordinary playwrights: Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, a 2014 OBIE Award winner for Best New American Play; Danai Gurira—author of Eclipsed, which won the 2010 Outstanding Production of a Play Award from the Connecticut Critics Circle; and Sheila Callaghan, whose Elevada was recently shortlisted for the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize. These writers are the bright present and future of the American theatre: like Christopher Durang, Amy Herzog, Tarell Alvin McCraney, Sarah Ruhl, and August Wilson—five of the ten most produced playwrights in America in 2014–15—you can see their work first at Yale, by joining us as a Yale Rep subscriber throughout the year! As always, I look forward to hearing what you think about the play or any of your experiences at Yale Rep: my email address is james.bundy@yale.edu. Sincerely,
James Bundy Artistic Director 3

Poetical Science Lord Byron’s daughter, Ada Lovelace, a brilliant mathematician and a predictor of modern computer science, once wrote to her mother, “If you can’t give me poetry, can’t you give me ‘poetical science’?” As Lovelace saw, poets have always had access to ideas scientists take years to prove. Byron himself imagined a cold, dark end of the world in his poem “Darkness,” which was written years before the laws of thermodynamics were set down by physicists. Romantic poetry grew out of, and in reaction to, the codifying of the universe undertaken by scientists like Sir Isaac Newton during the Enlightenment—a view of our world that didn’t significantly change until the twentieth century, when quantum physics and chaos theory reshaped our understanding of the universe yet again. On the next few pages, over 2,000 years of human thought are manifested in texts and allowed to overlap. In the theatre all these ideas can exist simultaneously, and time may defy the laws of physics, shuttling from past to present with grace. Arcadia revels in this complex simultaneity, and since, as Thomasina explains in a poetical rendering of the second law of thermodynamics, we “cannot stir things apart,” the two times are ultimately inextricable: we cannot understand one without the other.
—RACHEL CARPMAN, PRODUCTION DRAMATURG 9
The Genius of the Place In 1809, a war was being fought on the lawns of the British aristocracy. Eighteenth-century Neoclassicism and nineteenth-century Romanticism clashed in a flurry of leaves and twigs, as the British shaped the earth itself to conform to the dominant aesthetics of the day. The eighteenth-century Enlightenment returned to the ancient Grecian ideals of logic and order, both in thought and in design. In Britain, landscape architect Lancelot “Capability” Brown embodied the eighteenth-century vision of Grecian Arcadia—which the British associated with idyllic, pastoral living—in his garden plans. Brownian landscapes, many of which are still intact outside the stately homes of the English countryside, featured wide-open, sweeping lawns that stretched out to the horizon; clumps and scatterings of trees; serpentine lakes; and classical temples peeking out of the woods. At the turn of the nineteenth century, the rational nature of the Enlightenment had begun to frustrate artists and intellectuals, who believed beautiful and overwhelming experiences were inherently irrational. This gave rise to the Romantic era, a period of thought and art that favored feeling and emotion rather than cold logic. One particularly British flavor of Romanticism edged into the Gothic, which evoked a delicious sense of terror. In landscape design, the Gothic aesthetic was called “the picturesque.” The previous century’s open lawns were planted with trees, quiet steams turned into turbulent cataracts, and classical temples crumbled into medieval ruins. —RC
