 Noises Off is a brilliantly crafted, side-splitting farce that pulls back the curtain on a theater company in total disarray.
Noises Off is a brilliantly crafted, side-splitting farce that pulls back the curtain on a theater company in total disarray. As the hapless cast and crew attempt to stage the fictional play Nothing On, everything that can go wrong does, from forgotten lines and missing props to romantic entanglements and mistimed entrances. Doors slam, sardines fly and egos clash in this uproarious play-within-a-play, where backstage drama and onstage mishaps collide in a whirlwind of slapstick chaos. Hailed as “the funniest farce ever written” (New York Post), Michael Frayn’s Noises Off is a love letter to the theater and a masterclass in perfectly timed comedic mayhem.
Noises Off is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com
Quotes About the Show:
“The most dexterously realized comedy ever about putting on a comedy. A spectacularly funny, peerless backstage farce. This dizzy, well-known romp is festival of delirium.” – The New York Times
“Bumper car brilliance […] If laughter is indeed the best medicine, Noises Off is worth its weight in Cipro.” – New York Daily News
“The funniest farce ever written! Never before has a side-splitting taken on a meaning dangerously close to the non-metaphorically medical.” – New York Post
