Description

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 melee of stock characters and situations.

Media Reviews

Written by a man with a vision... Recommended. - Library Journal

The funniest play written in my lifetime -Frank Rich, The New York Times

Frayn's construct is based on the principle that if farce involves watching the wheels come off a well-oiled machine, then nothing could be funnier than seeing the wheels fall off a farce itself. Pure comedy gold. - The Guardian Noises Off
Winner of the Evening Standard, the Olivier Award for Best Comedy and the New York Drama Desk Award.
