5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Brilliant, 22 Dec 2007
This review is from: Noises Off (French's acting edition) (Paperback)
This has got to be one of the funniest and most succesful plays ever written. I saw it with Peter Egan,Patricia Hodge, Jeff Rawle and many more famous names in the cast, in fact I am writing this review with a photo of the cast on the wall in front of me. Its also a staple of the amateur dramatic societies and it was so succesful with one of our leading groups that it's run was extended for an extra week. Highly recommended. Another play I can recommend which seems to be doing well with Amdram Societies is a comedy bordering on farce called Lust In The Dust from New Theatre Publications.

5.0 out of 5 stars A superbly funny farce., 4 July 2001
By witchbabe13@hotmail.com (Hastings, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Noises Off (French's acting edition) (Paperback)
This play is sure to go down in history as a farce of great merit. All the elements of farce are there from the dumb blonde to the randy young guy but here we get it two-fold as we see both a farce in rehearsal ('Nothing On') and the play we are watching. It gives a great insight into how backstage relationships effect on stage performances and is a must for any actor or anyone with dramatic notions, or just anyone who wants a good laugh on many different levels. Truely excellent.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious. I almost laughed my head off. At the theatre., 9 Jan 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Noises Off (French's acting edition) (Paperback)
Michael Frayn's "Noises Off" is the farce to end all farces, a hilariously funny play that had me fall off my theatre seat repeatedly because I just couldn't stop laughing. A group of moderately talented actors attempts to perform a bedroom farce called "Nothing On", but their own incompentence and personal disagreements get in the way to result in perfect, bizarre chaos.

This is one of the funniest plays I've ever seen. Much of the humour, however, depends on seeing the whole thing acted out on stage. It's not nearly half as funny if you read it as a book.

That said, if this play comes to a theatre near you, go and watch it by all means!! If afterwards you want something to remember it by, buy this book.

The play would get 5 stars easily, the book is barely a replacement for seeing the whole thing live, so it's just 4 stars from me.

Having watched the film with Michael Caine which was based on this farce, I was curious to read the original text - and it's fantastic! Read more

Noises Off has to be one of the funniest things I have ever read. As the cast relations go as wrong as they can you see how that is shown in a second rate production of sex farce... Read more
