Irving: Noises Off Presented by Mainstage
July 18 & 19 at 7:30 p.m.
Dupree Theater, 3333 N. MacArthur Boulevard, Suite 300
 
Sardines! Sardines! Called “the funniest farce ever written,” Noises Off takes a fond look at the follies of theatre folk, whose susceptibility to out-of-control egos, memory loss, and passionate affairs turn every performance into a high-risk adventure. This play-within-a-play captures a touring theatre troupe’s production of Nothing On in three stages: dress rehearsal, the opening performance, and a performance towards the end of a debilitating run. Frayne gives us a window into the inner workings of theatre behind-the-scenes, progressing from flubbed lines and missed cues in the dress rehearsal to mounting friction between cast members in the final performance. A side-splitting backstage farce with slamming doors, falling trousers, and flying sardines!
