On the Razzle is a play by Tom Stoppard which premiered at the Royal National Theatre, London in 1981. It is an adaptation of the 1842 Viennese play Einen Jux will er sich machen by Johann Nestroy, which had been adapted twice by Thornton Wilder. The first Wilder version, 1938, entitled The Merchant of Yonkers, was faithful to the original material, but the second Wilder version, 1955, renamed The Matchmaker, expanded the previously secondary role of Dolly Gallagher Levi, who later became the heroine of the Jerry Herman musical hit, Hello, Dolly!. Stoppard's adaptation eliminates the Dolly character.

  • On the Razzle is a play by Tom Stoppard which premiered at the Royal National Theatre, London in 1981. It is an adaptation of the 1842 Viennese play Einen Jux will er sich machen by Johann Nestroy, which had been adapted twice by Thornton Wilder. The first Wilder version, 1938, entitled The Merchant of Yonkers, was faithful to the original material, but the second Wilder version, 1955, renamed The Matchmaker, expanded the previously secondary role of Dolly Gallagher Levi, who later became the heroine of the Jerry Herman musical hit, Hello, Dolly!. Stoppard's adaptation eliminates the Dolly character. The play's title is a euphemism, often used by the British press, to describe the actions of a celebrity who has drunk, or is about to drink, a considerable amount of alcohol. (en)
  • On the Razzle è un'opera teatrale del drammaturgo britannico Tom Stoppard, esordita a Londra nel 1981. La pièce è tratta dalla commedia di Johann Nestroy Einen Jux will er sich machen (1842), già riadattata due volte da Thornton Wilder in The Merchant of Yonkers (1938) e The Matchmaker (1955). Il titolo della commedia è un'espressione idiomatica inglese usata prevalentemente dai media per descrivere una celebrità che viene scoperta ubriaca. On the Razzle è una commedia farsesca che impiega un grande uso di paronimie, doppi sensi e uno stile slapstick. (it)
