NOISES OFF FROM THE SHAKESPEARE THEATRE OF NEW JERSEY

Noises Off
By Michael Frayn
Directed by Paul Mullins


Noises Off is one of the funniest plays ever written... or, more accurately, ever staged, since it is not just the words but the physical actions that are hilarious. It is classic farce.

"Noises Off (British for off-stage commotion that can be heard by the audience), by Michael Frayn pulls back the curtain on a third-rate troupe of actors performing the sex-farce Nothing On, where backstage romance, slamming doors, missing actors and a plate of sardines lead to hilarious chaos."

There's a new production this summer (with great reviews from The New York Times & other major papers), directed by Paul Mullins, at The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey, an independent professional company which is performing this summer at Drew University.

Highlighting the production are a fabulous young English actress, Katie Fabel, the well known American actress, Laila Robins, and Tony Award™ winning actress Harriet Harris.
