New York City
Michael Frayn’s hilarious comedy, Noises Off, depicts the antics, on and offstage, of a third-rate acting troupe performing in a fourth-rate British sex farce in a country-house setting with eight doors and a window. The play-within-a-play being “performed” by these “actors” is also a farce, about trysts in a supposedly empty house. In Act I of the play, the first act of the British sex farce is seen in rehearsal; in Act II, we see it being performed, but from a backstage view; and, in Act III, we see it “played” again, this time from the audience’s point of view. It has become an absolute shambles of missed cues and careless improvisations. Mark Harborth directs.
Final performance: May 19, 2024
