The cast and creative team have been revealed for a major new production of Michael Frayn’s legendary comedy Noises Off, co-produced by Ipswich’s New Wolsey Theatre, Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch, Les Théâtres de la Ville de Luxembourg and Theatre by the Lake. The production, which marks the New Wolsey Theatre’s first ever international collaboration, will play there from Thursday 1 to Saturday 24 May as a highlight of the Spring season.
Noises Off is a wildly hilarious, fast-paced comedy that takes the audience behind the curtain of a chaotic touring theatre company’s desperate attempt to stage a show, trying to maintain their composure whilst everything quite literally goes wrong.
The show is directed by Douglas Rintoul, who is also Chief Executive/Artistic Director of the New Wolsey Theatre, he said, “I’m absolutely thrilled to be collaborating with such a brilliant company on this comedy masterpiece. It’s a joyful celebration of theatrical virtuosity – a true love letter to the craft of acting and to theatre itself. I’ve been a huge fan of Michael Frayn’s work for years – having directed Copenhagen early in my career – and I’m delighted to now get my hands on this all-time comic belter. This show promises to bring huge joy to audiences across the UK and beyond.”
