"As finely worked as a Swiss watch and as funny as the human
condition permits ... the zigzag brilliance of the text as the
clunky lines of the farce-within-a-farce rub against the sharp
dialogue of reality." The Guardian A play-within-a-play following a
touring theatre company who are rehearsing and performing a comedy
called Nothing On, results in a riotous double-bill of comedic
craft and dramatic skill. Hurtling along at breakneck speed it
shows the backstage antics as they stumble through the
dress-rehearsal at Weston-super-Mare, then on to a disastrous
matinee at Ashton-under-Lyne, followed by a total meltdown in
Stockton-on-Tees. Michael Frayn's irresistible, multi-award-winning
backstage farce has been enjoyed by millions of people worldwide
since it premiered in 1982 and has been hailed as one of the
greatest British comedies ever written. Winner of both Olivier and
Evening Standard Awards for Best Comedy. This edition features a
new introduction by Michael Blakemore.
