Synopsis

Based on a classic farce by Molnar, "Rough Crossing" takes place aboard ship as two playwrights struggle to finish a musical comedy and rehearse it before docking in New York. In "On the Razzle", two shop assistants live it up while dodging their employer in the restuarants and night-spots of Nestroy's 19th century Vienna. Both of these plays were originally produced by the National Theatre.

Media Reviews
