A comedy in the spirit of Boeing Boeing and Perfect Wedding, this side-splitting play within a play has been called "the funniest farce ever written". Noises Off presents a manic menagerie of itinerant actors rehearsing a farce called Nothing On. Slamming doors, on and offstage intrigue, and an errant herring all figure in this hilarious, high-energy comedy. Breakneck speed, precision slapstick and un unbelievable set will blow audiences away.
