Rough Crossing


  • Bowen Theatre 580 Bowen Island Trunk Road Bowen Island, BC, V0N 1G1 Canada (map)

This raucous seafaring comedy from award-winning writer Tom Stoppard (Rosencrantz & 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.

Performance Dates: Oct 17th, 18th , and 24th, 25th. 7.30PM

Content Advisory:
