On the Razzle

by Tom Stoppard

directed by Shana Bestock

“One false move and we’ll have a farce on our hands.”

From the master who brought us Arcadia comes a farce of epic proportions. In an explosion of verbal dazzle, wit, innuendo, malaprops, grand entrances, hasty exits, mistaken identities, and general hilarity, Stoppard adapts with a very free hand an 1842 Austrian farce (which inspired Thornton Wilder’sMatchmaker, which in turn was the basis for the musical Hello, Dolly!). “On the razzle” is a quaint Britishism that roughly translates as “to par-tay” and this play certainly is a night on the town! Two callow shop clerks escape their lives of provincial drudgery for one day in glitzy, sinful old Vienna, where they hope, as one of them puts it, “to acquire a past before it’s too late.” Don’t miss this deft and daffy romp!

Ensemble features actors grades 8 – 12.
