Noises Off
| Author: Michael Frayn | |
| Premiered: 1982 | Work Type: Play |
| Description: Noises Off by Michael Frayn is a three-act play that famously depicts the disastrous final dress rehearsal, a disastrous matinee performance (seen from backstage), and the disastrous final performance of a fictional, terrible play called Nothing On, showing the actors' personal lives unraveling and their on-stage performance collapsing into chaos. It's a play-within-a-play, a farce that uses a show-within-a-show structure to create escalating comedic mayhem, with the audience seeing the same scenes from different perspectives as the production falls apart. | |
