On the Razzle
In England, to go "on the Razzle" means to have a night of drinking, celebration, and perhaps a bit of misbehavior.
September 26 - November 2
"Q&A" after the show on Sunday October 19th
What happens when the boss leaves town, and two irrepressibly irresponsible young men are left to run the store, but instead, set out to the big city "to acquire a past before it’s too late."? According to playwright Tom Stoppard, the hilarious master of linguistic gymnastics, in his joyous farce, On the Razzle, what happens is a night of double entendres, mistaken identities, high jinks and low tomfoolery – and romance: uncontainable, disobedient romance. Theatre West invites you to join us on the razzle, for a night of laughter and great fun.

Superb period costuming by Marjorie Vander Hoff greatly enhances the Viennese-inspired theme." - LA Splash
"On The Razzle is fun…The cast of players performing in this TW show know their stuff... Marjorie Van Der Hoff’s costuming is within the flavor of the period, making this show a mini 'costume epic'." - Accessibly Live Off-Line
