Noises Off is not one play but two - simultaneously a traditional
sex farce, Nothing On, and the backstage farce that develops during
Nothing On's final rehearsal and tour. The two farces begin to
interlock, as the characters make their exits from Nothing On only
to find themselves making entrances into the even worse nightmare
going on backstage, and exit from that only to make their entrances
back into Nothing On. In the end, at the disastrous final
performance in Stockton-on-Tees, the two farces can be kept
separate no longer, and coalesce into one single collective nervous
breakdown. Noises Off won both the Evening Standard and the Olivier
Awards for Best Comedy when it was first produced, and ran in the
West End for nearly five years. Michael Frayn's most recent play,
Copenhagen, won both the Evening Standard Best Play Award in London
and the Tony Best Play Award in New York.
