Rough Crossing

Theatre On The Isle

A fast-paced farce set upon an ocean liner, and rife with one-liners!

Bowen Island Community Centre

This raucous seafaring comedy from award-winning writer Tom Stoppard (Rosencrantz &amp; Guildenstern Are Dead; Shakespeare In Love) is set in the 1930s and follows the desperate efforts of two playwright/directors to pull their wayward cast and composer together and deliver a smash hit musical by the time their ocean liner crosses the Atlantic - roughly 4.5 days.The play sparkles with brilliant comedic timing, non-stop punnery and sharp wit, and a splash of good old classic drag. An all-local, all-star cast truly make this production shine, especially as they're outfitted by the inimitable Shirley Wrinch costume collection!Directed by Calder Stewart (Blood Relations, 2019; The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) [revised] [again], 2024), this play is sure to be another smashing success - and is just the effervescent comedic cocktail you need to warm up those dreary autumn days. Content Advisory:This play contains very mild sexual references, and alcohol is consumed onstage throughout; probably most suitable for ages 12+.
