Rough Crossing by Tom Stoppard

Directed and Introduced by Arden Thomas

 Rough Crossing

Set aboard a luxury ocean liner in the 1930s, Rough Crossing follows two playwrights racing to finish their latest musical before the ship reaches port. Yet their task is anything but smooth sailing! Tangled romances, a tempestuous composer, and a waiter with a genius for malapropisms all threaten to upend the voyage. With Stoppard's trademark verbal gymnastics and a rhythm as brisk as sea air, Rough Crossing is a buoyant theatrical delight.
