With “Noises Off,” UND Theatre beams the limelight onto the inner workings of the very craft it exalts. Penned by Michael Frayn in 1982, the three-act comedy bears the distinction of the “funniest farce ever written” that pulls the curtain on the follies of a theatre production.
Marking the finale of the 2018-2019 season, the play follows a troupe of touring actors as they scramble to put a British adult farce titled “Nothing On.” The frenzied action delivers fumbled lines, missed prompts and real-life drama. The audience follows the actors, over a span of a couple of months, as they rehearse, roister backstage and, finally, put a hilariously misguided performance.
