is a fast paced, physical farce which presents non-stop hilarity, onstage and backstage, consists of a cast of itinerant fifth rate acting ensemble preparing for a touring in a “head on collision” of a flop called “Nothing’s On”. Michael Frayns’ classic three-act farce of a play within a play is filled with slamming doors, flying props, prat falls, and plenty of sardines. The under-rehearsed actors and technicians desperately try to perform even as their rapidly deteriorating relationships cause mass hysteria and make for some hysterical comedy both off-stage and on. They all quickly find that as they muddle through, the more they work to take control, the funnier and more chaotic it gets!
Noises Off is written with a wit and heart that allows it to be more than mere farce or parody of farce; it speaks to what we love about theatre and makes us laugh at our dramas, both onstage and off. It has been boasted by many that it is one of the most brilliantly crafted lunatic comedy in years.
