"Noises Off is a masterfully crafted comedy that takes you on a wild ride behind the scenes of a theatre company's disastrous production of a farce called Nothing On. As the eccentric cast navigates forgotten lines, misplaced props, and personal feuds, their performances become increasingly chaotic, with doors slamming shut at the wrong moments, sardines going missing, and romantic entanglements causing tension. Featuring witty dialogue and side-splitting physical comedy, Noises Off is a must-see theatrical treat that has been called "the funniest farce ever written" (New York Post)."
"His plays for stage include Copenhagen, After Life, The Two of Us, Alphabetical Order, Donkeys' Years, Clouds, Balmoral (Liberty Hall), Make and Break, Noises Off, Benefactors, Alarms and Excursions, Look Look, Here and Make and Break. Other translations include four full-length Chekhov plays (The Cherry Orchard, Three Sisters, The Seagull and Uncle Vanya) and four one-act plays (The Evils of Tobacco, Swan Song, The Bear and The Proposal)."
Noises Off follows a theatre company mounting a disastrously comic production of Nothing On where forgotten lines, misplaced props, and personal feuds produce escalating onstage chaos. Doors slam at the wrong moments, sardines vanish, and romantic entanglements intensify comic tension while slapstick and witty dialogue propel the hilarity. Performances run at San Francisco Playhouse from September 25 to November 8, 2025 at 450 Post St., with tickets starting at $52 and a $5 promo code FUNCHEAP available; seat availability is limited. Michael Frayn, born in London in 1933, has written numerous plays and translations, including Noises Off.
