Rough Crossing – by Tom Stoppard

Presented by Aldeburgh Classic Theatre

With hopes sky-high, the writers, composer, and leading lady of a brand-new musical comedy are crossing the Atlantic, aiming for Broadway. But the script isn’t finished, and rehearsals not even begun! Echoes of The Producers, Anything Goes and Noises Off in this elaborately twisty, 1950s backstage farce with live music by the author of Shakespeare in Love. Set on an ocean liner, this comic tour-de force is elevated to classic level by uniquely Stoppardian dialogue, wordplay, and physical comedy.
