Noises Off tickets

Michael Frayn wrote the backstage farce after standing in the wings during a performance of another comedy he had written, noticing that the drama offstage was funnier than the play itself. The plot follows a touring theatre company attempting to stage a flimsy sex comedy called Nothing On. Across three acts, audiences see the disastrous dress rehearsal, a matinee performance viewed entirely from behind the scenery, and a final show where the production collapses into complete physical chaos. Michael Frayn’s play won the Olivier Award for Best Comedy.

The staging requires a intricate two-storey set that rotates during the interval to reveal the reverse side of the scenery. The humor relies on precise slapstick timing, involving running gags with slamming doors, misplaced plates of sardines, and silent backstage feuds carried out while the play inside the play continues out front.
