Noises Off! By Michael Frayn June 16, 17, 23, 24, 25, 30, July 1 Slamming doors, Cheating Lovers and Backstage Mayhem! If the play's the thing, what's that going on backstage? In Noises Off!, the delicious backstage comedy by acclaimed playwright Michael Frayn, audiences get to see not only what happens onstage as a hapless theatrical touring company presents a perfectly hysterical and ridiculous British sex farce (called "Nothing On"), but then the set turns around and the audience gets to see all the miscues, misadventures and sexual shenanigans going on backstage as well.
