Noises Off is not one play but two - simultaneously a traditional sex farce, Nothing On, and the backstage farce that develops during Nothing On's final rehearsal and tour. The two farces begin to interlock, as the characters make their exits from Nothing On only to find themselves making entrances into the even worse nightmare going on backstage, and exit from that only to make their entrances back into Nothing On. In the end, at the disastrous final performance in Stockton-on-Tees, the two farces can be kept separate no longer, and coalesce into one single collective nervous breakdown. Noises Off won both the Evening Standard and the Olivier Awards for Best Comedy when it was first produced, and ran in the West End for nearly five years. Michael Frayn's most recent play, Copenhagen, won both the Evening Standard Best Play Award in London and the Tony Best Play Award in New York.… (altro)

It's actually a bit of a confusing read (as it's a play and all) but if at all possible, see a production!! ( )

I've seen this three times. It's the most clever play, hysterically funny, really laugh-until-it-hurts-funny, but it has to be done by somebody top-notch. Happily, I've only bombed out once.

Michael Frayn suffers from being an all-rounder. I once read some advice he gave to aspiring writers. Find one thing to say and keep saying it, that's what people want out of an author. All-rounders are never respected. Luckily for most writers, they do only have about one thing to say.

Frayn couldn't be further from that. I find it quite astonishing that Noises Off and Copenhagen could both come from the same pen. It may hurt his pocket, but honestly, Michael Frayn, there are grateful readers out there. I hope that is some compensation. ( )

I'm never sure whether it's better to see a play before reading it, or vice versa, but I think in this case, either would be fine. I have seen this play more than once, and am pumped that it is being done again nearby, so I will see it again in a week. But it did add (or clarify) a few things by reading, so that I was able to sort out the dynamics of the deterioration that occurs as a theatre troupe moves from dress rehearsal to the end of a mishap-ridden tour, during which various relationships are made, broken, and remade, with all the mayhem that occurs backstage on full view for the audience/reader to enjoy. Truly a fine tour de force. ( )
