SUMMARY:Noises Off!
DESCRIPTION:The Story: In a provincial English town\, a theatre troupe rehearses a touring production of a sex comedy\, Nothing On. Unfortunately\, almost nothing is going right   the cast can't remember their lines\, they mix up their blocking\, misplace props\, and they've lost sight of why they're acting! Even the director is certain that the show will be a disaster. Somehow the cast pulls through\, but by mid-tour the drama has moved backstage\, as cast and crews' personal lives start to mirror the insanity in the play\, with sexual dalliances\, jealousies\, and chaos reigning overall. By closing night\, the play is in complete shambles both onstage and off\, with open "warfare" occurring among cast members and everyone simply trying to survive until the final curtain. Background: Masterfully constructed\, Noises Off is the "most dexterously realized comedy ever about putting on a comedy" (NY Times). Playwright and novelist Michael Frayn devised the concept for Noises Off while watching another one of his plays from backstage. "It was funnier from behind than in front and I thought that one day I must write a farce from behind." With an ingenious structure that showcased the action both onstage and off\, Noises Off premiered in London in 1982\, garnering immediate acclaim. NY Times critic Frank Rich\, who saw the premiere as well as the Broadway production in 1983\, proclaimed the work "The funniest play written in my lifetime." Join us for an evening of rollicking hilarity and virtuosic timing.
