On the Razzle | By Tom Stoppard |
Directed by jef brown
Produced by Pam Kaesemeyer
"This recent hit in London is a free adaptation of the 19th century farce by Johann Nestroy that provided the plot for Thornton Wilder's The Merchant of Yonkers, which ultimately led to Hello, Dolly. The story is basically one long chase, chiefly after two naughty grocer's assistants who, when their master goes off on a binge with a new mistress, escape to Vienna on a spree."
"Apart from 'Jumpers' and 'The Importance of Being Earnest' there may be no script in English
funnier than On the Razzle." -- London Observer
Beechmont Players' On The Razzle a crowd-pleaser!
Audiences love Beechmont Players’ spring production On the Razzle by the brilliant and multi-talented Tom Stoppard. Tom Stoppard, multi-award winning author of such memorable stage plays as the Tony Award winning Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead and of movies including the Oscar-winning Shakespeare in Love, dazzles audiences with a non-stop cascade of verbal hilarity while leaving them breathless with laughter over the absurd high jinks and uproarious misadventures of the characters.
Cynthia from Glendale said, “The interaction, the clever dialogue and amusing facial expressions were very funny!”
“I enjoyed all the moving stage parts, said Adrienne from Anderson Township. “I especially thought Act II and Act III were very funny!”
“I found the facility to be quite nice. I really enjoyed the sophisticated humor!” said Monica from Dayton, Ky. Fellow attendee Claudia also thought the set was great and the play very amusing.
Barry of Anderson Township said, "All of the actors were top-rate. I thought the show was really funny!"
