About the show


In his plot for Noises Off, Frayn plays on the concept of a play within
a play <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Play_within_a_play> , in this case
a parodistically dreadful sex comedy entitled Nothing On-the type of
play in which young girls run about in their underwear, old men drop
their trousers, and many doors continually open and shut. Act One is set
at the dress rehearsal <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dress_rehearsal> ,
the night before opening at the Grand Theatre in Weston-super-Mare
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weston-super-Mare> , with the cast still
fumbling with entrances and exits, missed cues, misspoken lines, and
bothersome props, most notably several plates of sardines.  Act Two
portrays a Wednesday matinee performance one month later, at the Theatre
Royal in Ashton-under-Lyne
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashton-under-Lyne> . In this act, the play
is seen from backstage, providing a view that reveals the deteriorating
personal relationships among the cast that have led to offstage
shenanigans and onstage bedlam.  In Act Three, we see a performance near
the end of the ten-week run, at the Municipal Theatre in
Stockton-on-Tees <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockton-on-Tees> , when
personal friction has continued to increase and everyone is bored and
anxious to be done with the play. The actors attempt to cover up a
series of mishaps but only compound the problems and draw attention to
the bungling performance.
