The ultimate farce, Noises Off follows the hilarious process of a play (and its actors) fall apart from a confused late-night rehearsal to the backstage backstabbing during previews to a disastrous performance where everything that can go wrong does. It's hard to say whether the drama is greater on-stage or backstage, but we guarantee the laughs will be in the audience! Fridays and Saturdays, June 20 - July 26, 7 pm
