Comedy/farce by Michael Frayn; presented by arrangement with Samuel French, Inc.; parental guidance suggested

Called the funniest farce ever written, NOISES OFF features a hilarious cast of itinerant actors rehearsing a dreadful British adult comedy called NOTHING ON. It is only hours before opening night and the touring company is hurriedly running through a final dress rehearsal. Lloyd Dallas, the director, is desperately trying to get his production together, despite the best efforts of the cast, the crew, and Lady Luck. As we follow the production from final rehearsals, through opening night, and on tour, we find that what's happening on stage is nothing compared to what's happening backstage!

"The most dexterously realized comedy ever about putting on a comedy ... A spectacularly funny ... peerless backstage farce ... [This} dizzy, well-known romp ... [is a] festival of delirium."—The New York Times.

"The funniest farce ever written ... Never before has side-splitting taken on a meaning dangerously close to the non-metaphorically medical."—New York Post.
