Seven slamming doors, one breaking window, 10 trips up and down stairs, 17 false entrances, 73 flubbed lines, 46 miscues, one dramatic highlight, 22 double entendres, six regular entendres and a million laughs--and several plates of sardines are all part of what makes Noises Off one of the most hysterical farces in recent years. Mishaps abound, as a touring company rehearses and opens a farce called "Nothing On." A glimpse at life behind the scenes proves hilarious beyond belief.

NOISES OFF, is not one play, but two: the hilariously horrible, British farce, NOTHINGON, and the comedic nightmare that ensues backstage. Slamming doors, flying props, prat falls,sardines and a two-story revolving set abound as we see the first act of NOTHING ON presented threetimes, each with successively less attention to the script. The under-rehearsed actors and techniciansdesperately try to perform even as their rapidly deteriorating relationships cause mass hysteria and make for some hysterical comedy both off-stage and on. They all quickly find that as they muddlethrough, the more they work to take control, the funnier and more chaotic it gets. NOISES OFF is written with a wit and heart that allows it to be more than mere farce or parody of farce; it speaks to what we love about theatre and what makes us laugh at our dramas, both onstage and off.
