Theatre Royal Bath Productions is delighted to announce that Michael Frayn’s multi award-winning farce, Noises Off (which I loved immensely at Richmond), will head to the West End’s Phoenix Theatre for a strictly restricted run from 19 January to 11 March 2023 with tickets now on sale by way of atgtickets.com
Noises Off stars Felicity Kendal (The Good Life, Relatively Speaking and Hay Fever) as Dotty Otley, Tracy-Ann Oberman (EastEnders, Friday Night Dinner and Edmond) as Belinda Blair and Matthew Kelly (The Dresser, Waiting For Godot, in addition to internet hosting Stars In Their Eyes and You Bet!) as Selsdon Mowbray, Alexander Hanson as Lloyd Dallas, Joseph Millson as Garry Lejeune, Sasha Frost as Brooke Ashton, Pepter Lunkuse as Poppy Norton Taylor and Jonathan Coy as Fredrick Fellows.
This celebrated 40th Anniversary manufacturing directed by Lindsay Posner (God of Carnage, Hay Fever, Stones in his Pockets) opened to essential acclaim at Theatre Royal Bath this autumn earlier than touring to Richmond, Brighton and Cambridge.
One of the best British comedies ever written, Michael Frayn’s celebrated play serves up a riotous double invoice – a play inside a play. Hurtling alongside at breakneck velocity, Noises Off follows the on and off-stage antics of a touring theatre firm as they stumble their manner by means of the fictional farce, Nothing On. From the shambolic remaining rehearsals earlier than opening evening in Weston-super-Mare, to a disastrous matinee in Ashton-Under-Lyme seen fully, and hilariously silently, from backstage, earlier than we share their remaining, brilliantly catastrophic efficiency in Stockton-on-Tees.
After watching from the wings a manufacturing of his 1970 farce The Two of Us with Richard Briers and Lynn Redgrave and noting that the goings on behind the scenes have been funnier than out entrance, Michael Frayn wrote Noises Off. The authentic manufacturing opened in London in 1982 earlier than changing into a worldwide hit. A function movie was fabricated from Noises Off in 1992.
Noises Off is written by Michael Frayn. The inventive staff for this 40th Anniversary manufacturing contains Lindsay Posner (Director), Simon Higlett (Designer), Paul Pyant (Lighting Designer), Greg Clarke (Sound Designer), Will Stuart (Composer), Ruth Cooper-Brown (Movement and Fight Director), George Jibson (Associate Director), Ginny Schiller (Casting Director).
