Carlow Little Theatre Society return to the stage of The George Bernard Shaw theatre this coming May with Michael Frayn's classic farce Noises Off.
This farce comedy about putting on a farce comedy follows the cast and crew of Otstar Productions; an assortment of egos, wits, and large personalities all with a love of drama, as they tour the play Nothing On. We follow them in three stages; the final rehearsal before opening night where things aren't quite as together as they should be, a performance in the middle of the show's run wherein cracks are beginning to show, and a performance on the last leg of the tour where the end can't come quickly enough! With Noises Off, Frayn has constructed what The New York Times described as "The most dexterously realized comedy ever about putting on a comedy [...] a festival of delirium." Brimming with slapstick comedy, Noises Off is a hilarious backstage farce, complete with slamming doors, falling trousers, and, of course, flying sardines.
Noises Off is directed by veteran actor and director Paddy Behan, and is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd on Behalf of Samuel French Ltd.
