Winner of the Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Comedy and Tony nominated for Best Play, Noises Off is an uproarious depiction of what goes on (and what goes wrong) backstage during a theatrical performance. The play chronicles the rocky final dress rehearsal and subsequent disastrous performances of a farce called Nothing On. As the cast and crew of a third-rate touring company attempt to negotiate the farcical demands of the play-within-the-play - fast entrances and exits, cases of mistaken identity, clothing quickly doffed and donned - a hilarious parade of madcap backstage mishaps threatens to derail the proceedings altogether.
