"Doors and sardines. That's what it's all about. Doors and sardines. Getting on – getting off. Getting the sardines on – getting the sardines off. That's farce. That's the theatre. That's life."
Midnight. Monday. Grand Theatre, Weston-Super-Mare. It’s the night before curtain up and the company of Nothing On frantically scramble to get it on. Lloyd is at the end of his tether, Tim’s dead on his feet, Frederick can’t find his motivation and Selsdon’s asleep in the stalls.
Quiet backstage. Beginners please. Break a leg darling…but don’t break mine.
Noises Off is the hilarious farce from award-winning writer Michael Frayn. Let us take you behind the scenes to the mishaps, mayhems and offstage shenanigans of a touring theatre company as tempers flare, passions rise and chaos rules.
Michael Frayn’s Noises Off has strong claims to be voted the funniest farce ever written
