Noises Off to return to the West End in September with Felicity Kendal
The 40th anniversary production of Noises Off will return to the West End in September.
Michael Frayn’s side-splitting backstage comedy will run at the Theatre Royal Haymarket from 27 September 2023. Tickets are on sale now here
The show will star Felicity Kendal (The Good Life, Relatively Speaking and Hay Fever) as Dotty Otley, Jonathan Coy as Frederick Fellows and Alexander Hanson as Lloyd Dallas with further casting to be announced.
One of the greatest British comedies ever written, Michael Frayn’s celebrated play serves up a riotous double bill – a play within a play. Hurtling along at breakneck speed, Noises Off follows the on and off-stage antics of a touring theatre company as they stumble their way through the fictional farce, Nothing On.
From the shambolic final rehearsals before opening night in Weston-super-Mare, to a disastrous matinee in Ashton-Under-Lyme seen entirely, and hilariously silently, from backstage, before we share their final, brilliantly catastrophic performance in Stockton-on-Tees.
