Noises Off!
by Michael Frayn
Called “the funniest farce ever written,” by the New York Post, Noises Off presents a manic menagerie of itinerant actors rehearsing a flop called “Nothing On”. Doors slamming, on and offstage intrigue, and many plates of sardines all figure in the plot of this hilarious and classically comic play.
Here’s some reviews from the opening of the New York production:
- “The most dexterously realized comedy ever about putting on a comedy. A spectacularly funny, peerless backstage farce. This dizzy, well-known romp is festival of delirium.” – The New York Times
- “As side-splitting a farce as I have seen. Ever? Ever.” – New York Magazine
- “Bumper car brilliance […] If laughter is indeed the best medicine, Noises Off is worth its weight in Cipro.” – New York Daily News
- The funniest farce ever written! Never before has side-splitting taken on a meaning dangerously close to the non-metaphorically medical.” – New York Post
- “As side-splitting a farce as I have seen. Ever? Ever.” – New York Magazine
