Noises Off

Michael Frayn

Comedy on stage, drama behind it.

When Noises Off premiered in 1982, it became an instant comedy classic. Packed with mishaps, mayhem and misunderstandings, it has rightly been hailed as “the funniest farce ever written.”

This play-within-a-play portrays the backstage chaos of a travelling theatre company as they stage ‘Nothing On’, a raunchy, but badly written, comedy of their own. As the actors and crew contend with missed cues, big egos and stray sardines (no, really) the line between play and personal life begins to erode, and both unravel. More than just hearts may be broken by curtain call, but the show must go on!
