Synopsis

Noises Off follows a theatrical company to a small town as they rehearse and perform Nothing On. Instead of a play within a play it’s more like a farce within a farce. We see the cast backstage embroiled in peccadilloes and petty bickering and onstage in character trying to hit their marks and keep their lines straight. A classic English farce, Noises Off throws in much opening and closing of doors and many entrances and exits. It’s sometimes difficult to keep up with the fast-paced action, but that’s as it should be to keep the audience confused and amused.
