Kennelly Review: Noises Off!
by Laura Kennelly 06 May '25

06 May '25

*Bottom Line*: Carefully timed classic farce that celebrates comedy’s messy moments. No wonder it’s one of the most popular plays around. The Great Lakes team gives it its proper due, although I did wonder upon leaving, “How would I know if panicked players playing players in a play made up a line?” (But that’s just me, recalling my own real-life onstage panic, not theirs.)
