Noises Off

by Michael Frayn

Widely considered one of the funniest farces ever written, Noises Off takes audiences behind the scenes of a chaotic theatre production. What begins as a straightforward comedy quickly unravels into a whirlwind of missed cues, slamming doors, misplaced props, and backstage mishaps.

With razor-sharp timing, precision chaos, and ever-escalating antics, this high-energy comedy delivers nonstop laughs as everything that can go wrong does. As the cast attempts to keep both the performance and their sanity intact, the action spills further out of control, blurring the line between onstage performance and backstage disaster.

Fast-paced, meticulously constructed, and brilliantly absurd, the result is a wildly entertaining celebration of live theatre at its most unpredictable - and most hilarious.

“A spectacularly funny, peerless backstage farce… a festival of delirium.” – The New York Times

“As side-splitting a farce as I have seen. Ever? Ever.” – New York Magazine

“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 side-splitting taken on a meaning dangerously close to the non-metaphorically medical.” – New York Post
