Noises Off

The San Francisco Playhouse
450 Post Street San Francisco

Considered by many to be the funniest farce ever written, Noises Off reveals the hilarious backstage antics and drama of a group of small-town actors attempting to perform a dreadful flop called Nothing On. This play-within-a-play is a comedic triumph of slamming doors, falling trousers and ... flying sardines. Written by award-winning English novelist and playwright Michael Frayn (Copenhagen, Democracy), this comedy of errors remains a crowd pleaser 35 years after its debut. You may also know it as a 1992 film starring Michael Caine, Carol Burnett, Christopher Reeve and John Ritter. Now you can catch all the madcap comedy of Noises Off on the stage of the San Francisco Playhouse.
