On the Razzle!

When their employer departs for a reckless romantic escapade, two young shop assistants seize their moment. Determined “to acquire a past before it’s too late,” they abandon their provincial responsibilities and head to Vienna for a spree that quickly spirals into a whirlwind of mistaken identities, romantic misfires, elaborate lies, and breathless pursuit.

Tom Stoppard’s On the Razzle is a joyous explosion of language and farce. Wit flies as fast as doors slam. Romance is impulsive, impractical, and irresistible. Beneath the high jinks and double entendres lies something tender: the longing to live boldly, to risk embarrassment, and to seize youth before it slips away. What unfolds is a night of theatrical mayhem that builds toward a crescendo of comic precision and sheer delight.

Themes: A joyous exploration of youthful rebellion, romantic mischief, and the irresistible pull of adventure. The play celebrates risk, reinvention, and the chaos that unfolds when responsibility is abandoned for one unforgettable night.

Runtime is approximately 2 hours 15 minutes, including intermission.
