USA: Oye! Times readers Get FREE $30 to spend on Amazon, Walmart…On the Razzle: Tom Stoppard’s Naughty British Comedy
Theatre West (Hollywood, CA)
In England, to go “on the razzle” means to have a night of drinking, celebration and perhaps a bit of misbehavior. In Tom Stoppard’s 1981 farce On the Razzle, two irrepressibly irresponsible young men are left to run an upscale grocery store together, but decide to set out into the big city instead. What ensues is two hours of slapstick shenanigans, mistaken identities, misdirected orders, malapropisms, double entendres and romantic complications — all told with the linguistic gymnastics for which Stoppard (Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, Shakespeare in Love) is known. Hijinks and low tomfoolery combine in this joyous play about two men who go “on the razzle.”
