Noises Off
DIRECT FROM WEST END
One of the greatest British comedies ever written visits Newcastle Theatre Royal, direct from a triumphant West End season.
Michael Frayn’s celebrated play serves up a riotous double bill, a play within a play.
Hurtling along at breakneck speed, Noises Off follows the on and offstage antics of a touring theatre company as they stumble their way through the fictional farce, Nothing On.
Starring one of the UK’s favourite actresses, Liza Goddard (Life of Riley, Communicating Doors, Season’s Greetings, Relatively Speaking), Matthew Kelly (Of Mice and Men, Waiting for Godot, Comedians, Troilus and Cressida), and Simon Shepherd (Peak Practice, Posh, The Duck House, Rapture, Art, Hay Fever).
From the shambolic final rehearsals before opening night in Weston-super-Mare, to a disastrous matinee in Ashton-under-Lyne seen entirely, and hilariously silently, from backstage, before we share their final, brilliantly catastrophic performance in Stockton-on-Tees.
