Noises Off
Michael Frayn’s iconic backstage comedy Noises Off transferred to the Garrick Theatre in London’s West End, following a phenomenally successful extended run at the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre.
After watching from the wings a production of his 1970 farce The Two of Us with Richard Briers and Lynn Redgrave, also at the Garrick Theatre, and noting that the goings on behind the scenes were funnier than out front, Michael Frayn wrote Noises Off. With technical brilliance and split-second timing, it takes us behind the scenes with a company of actors in a hilarious and heartfelt tribute to the unpredictability of life in the theatre. Hailed as one of the funniest plays of all time, the Olivier Award-winning Noises Off originally premiered at the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre in 1982 and instantly became a timeless British comedy.
Hailed as one of the funniest plays of all time, this exuberant new production directed by Jeremy Herrin (All My Sons, Wolf Hall, This House) plays at the Garrick Theatre for a strictly limited run, for fans to enjoy and new audiences to discover.
