Noises Off
By Michael Frayn
Directed by Gregg Lloyd
October 2-4 and 7-9
Rendezvous with TheaterCNU in the 1980s for this madcap twisted “play-within-a play” farce. The British thespians of Otstar Productions are getting ready to open their production of Nothing’s On, but the drama backstage is more notable than their show. We observe this cast onstage and off as they rehearse, perform and close their destined-for-disaster production. In truly one of the best farces ever written, the stakes are high for this disparate cast as doors slam, scenery revolves and pants fall down.
