Noises Off

<i><b>As finely worked as a Swiss watch and as funny as the human condition permits..the zigzag brilliance of the text as the clunky lines of the farce-within-a-farce rub against the sharp dialogue of reality Guardian</b></i><br/><br/>A play-within-a-play following a touring theatre company who are rehearsing and performing a comedy called <i>Nothing On</i> results in a riotous double-bill of comedic craft and dramatic skill. <br/><br/>Hurtling along at breakneck speed it shows the backstage antics as they stumble through the dress-rehearsal at Weston-super-Mare then on to a disastrous matinee at Ashton-under-Lyne followed by a total meltdown in Stockton-on-Tees.<br/><br/>Michael Frayn's irresistible multi-award-winning backstage farce has been enjoyed by millions of people worldwide since it premiered in 1982 and has been hailed as one of the greatest British comedies ever written. <br/><br/>Winner of both Olivier and Evening Standard Awards for Best Comedy.<br/><br/>This edition features a new introduction by Michael Blakemore.
