Noises Off is a chaotic love letter to all the ways a play can go wrong, from interpersonal drama to technical issues. The play within the play—Nothing On—is doing its best to be a classic sex farce, characters stumbling in and out of doors as the comedic tension ratchets ever higher, but it'll take a miracle for the actors to make it through a full run. With such strict needs—levels, seven doors, a window; and the whole set capable of turning 360º—Noises Off is a challenge of logistics and comedic timing.
