Noises Off

Keegan Theatre
1742 Church Street, NW Washington

‘Noises Off’ uses the concept of “play within a play” while comically showing how cast and crew’s off-stage antics and personalities affect on-stage performance. It is made up of three acts, in each of which the first act of a bawdy comedic romp called ’Nothing On’ is performed in different phases of a tour.

"...The success of this "Noises Off" is based entirely on the fact that it has an intelligent director and first-rate cast, capable of getting into Frayn's goofy farcical zone and making "Nothing On" look bungled, while in fact every second of it is carefully planned, acted and choreographed. At issue is not just speed but energy and an ability to achieve high-powered, Marx Brothers-like comedic anarchy. With its wry comments on how theater works (or doesn't) and its satire of self-dramatizing "artistes," this "Noises Off" is a refreshing, buoyant peek behind the scenery."

"...Keegan Theatre's decision to punch up the summer season with a bit of horseplay and good humor (including the quirky double playbills) is as smartly executed as the show itself. Rhea and company's Noises Off is entirely spot on."

"...British playwright Michael Frayn’s farce-within-a-farce Noises Off has become one of the most beloved and popular comedies since its original staging in 1982 – so popular that when Frayn updated it ten years ago for a National Theatre revival it caught a Tony for its famous Broadway transfer. Listening to the audience’s uproarious laughter at Keegan Theatre’s production last night, it’s not hard to see why this play is produced again and again – it’s simply guaranteed to make you laugh."

"...A clear audience favorite, by act two of this three-act comedy, which Frank Rich of the New York Times has called “the funniest play written in my lifetime,” the packed house was gripping their armrests to keep from spilling out of their chairs. And the intimate setting of the Church Street Theatre echoed with repeated rounds of titters and belly-laughs, hoots and guffaws."

Noises Off approaches perfect nonsense, and Keegan Theatre plays the heck out of it. It is a joyous adventure, watching a good play about the production of a very bad one.
