Noises Off
THE COPPERSTATE DINNER THEATER AT PHOENIX GREYHOUND PARK IS PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THE OPENING OF “THE FUNNIEST COMEDY EVER WRITTEN” (New York Get Out), NOISES OFF, ON JANUARY 9TH .
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 IS DIRECTED BY COPPERSTATE DINNER THEATER’S PRODUCING DIRECTOR, PETER J. HILL WHO’S BEEN CALLED ‘ARIZONA’S PREMIER FARCEUR’. IT STARS JESSE BERGER, MARTY BERGER, MARTHA BROOKS, MARK HACKMANN, ASHLEIGH HUNT, NOEL IRICK, GERRY LOVELAND, LISA MARTINA AND PAT RUSSEL.
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.
