Lauded as “the funniest farce ever written” by The New York Post and originally nominated for Best Play at the 1984 Tony Awards®, Noises Off by Michael Frayn presents a manic menagerie of itinerant actors rehearsing a flop called Nothing On. Doors slamming, on and offstage intrigue, and an errant herring all figure in the plot of this hilarious and classically comic play.
Tickets are currently SOLD OUT. Additional performances may be announced at a future date. Please visit our event page for updates.
Be prepared for Noises Off like you’ve never seen or experienced it before as we use our intimate space in unprecedented and innovative ways! Due to the sometimes immersive nature of this production, LIMITED SEATING is available and late seating will not be accommodated until intermission.
Synopsis
Six neurotic actors, two overworked stage managers, an explosive director and an elusive plate of sardines are the perfect recipe for on and offstage disaster and hilarity in Michael Frayn’s classic farce Noises Off.
Director Lloyd Dallas and his cast of the sex-fueled screwball comedy Nothing On have a lot on their plate: a prop of sardines nobody knows what to do with, memorizing lines, missed cues, quick costume changes, door slamming - not to mention rampant offstage gossip, affairs, rivalries and secrets that lead to mounting mainstage mayhem. Can they get their act together before the final curtain call? Don’t count on it.
