Article - Entertainment - 'Noises Off' hit-and-miss affair
ocregister: "With his 1982 farce 'Noises Off,' Michael Frayn solved the problem of rejuvenating that old standard, the British sex farce. The British playwright's solution? Present a play within the play by depicting a snake-bitten troupe of actors struggling to launch a national tour of a salacious new farce called 'Nothing On.'"
"Noises Off" is such a funny and unique show. It is interesting that this director felt the need to make most of the characters American while keeping some of them British. This is a production of I would be intrigued to see.
