Stoppard’s Rough Crossing tells the tale of two playwrights stuck on an ocean liner bound for New York desperately trying to rehearse their latest show before the boat reaches shore.

However the pair are constantly distracted by a series of increasingly absurd events onboard the ship.

The cast is led by Celebrity MasterChef Winner John Partridge, and Olivier Award-nominee Charlie Stemp. They are joined by Issy Van Randwyck, Matthew Cottle, Rob Ostlere, and Simon Dutton.

Rough Crossing will be at Theatre Royal, in Saw Close at 7.30pm from February 25 to March 2, with performances at 2.30pm on February 27 and March 1.
