Noises Off

Synopsis

A play

Called the funniest farce ever written, Noises Off presents a manic menagerie as a cast of itinerant actors rehearsing a flop called Nothing's On.

Doors slamming, on and offstage intrigue, and an errant herring all figure in the plot of this hilarious and classically comic play.

"The play opens with a touring company dress-rehearsing Nothing On, a conventional farce.

Mixing mockery and homage, Frayn heaps into this play-within-a-play a hilarious melée of stock characters and situations.
