style='font-size:13.0pt;line-height:115%'>What do fractal geometry, the Second
Law of Thermodynamics, iterated algorithms, chaos theory, classical
horticulture, gothic architecture, carnal embrace, and Lord Byron’s sex life
have in common? They are all ingredients in Tom Stoppard’s masterpiece comedy
thriller <i>Arcadia</i>, the final UW Drama production of the 2009-2010 season.

lang=EN-US style='font-size:13.0pt;line-height:115%'>But you won’t need a
higher degree in nano-computing or quantum mechanics to enjoy this play. <i>Arcadia</i>
is emphatically not a dramatized academic seminar, but a tightly executed
theatrical tour de force which is part satire, part detective story, part
debate about determinism and free will, part celebration of the ungovernable
curiosity about the world around us.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0cm;text-indent:36.0pt'><span
lang=EN-US style='font-size:13.0pt;line-height:115%'>Considered by many one of
the greatest plays of our time, <i>Arcadia</i> celebrates the human thirst for
knowledge, fully cognizant that such knowledge will forever be elusive.
Yet in the pursuit of sexy ideas about the universe, it also celebrates
universal ideas about sex, the one unpredictable “attraction which Newton left
out” in his deterministic model of the world. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
