Introduction
Romance, adventure, mistaken identity and hair-breadth escapes as two put-upon grocer's clerks cut loose and head for the bright lights of Vienna - On the Razzle. But they daren't bump into their crazy boss, or his new mistress, or his slick new servant, or his beautiful young ward who's just eloped with her penniless suitor, or the rich aunt with the French maid who's taken a shine to the world's worst coachman ... Stoppard's script fizzes with insanely silly situations and dazzling wordplay worthy of the "cleverest playwright of the era".
