Rough Crossing

About

Directed by Stan Wojewodski, Jr., The Old Globe’s Rough Crossing embraces Tom Stoppard’s arch, quick-witted tone in a stylish 1930s ocean-liner setting. John Coyne’s revolving, two-story deck and swaying chandeliers evoke art deco luxury and storm-tossed chaos, while Katherine Roth’s award-winning period costumes heighten the elegance. Five André Previn songs are woven into the farce, with musical staging by Bonnie Johnston and musical direction by Karl Mansfield.
