I am joined by Eleanor Morton-Smith (with a surprise appearance from Coralie Bastiaens) to discuss the hilarious meta-farce Noises Off by Michael Frayn.

Telling the story of a theatre company's desperate bid to make it to the end of their tour of the (fictional) play 'Nothing On,' this play takes place over three performances from three points of view. The dress rehearsal from a director's perspective, a mid-run performance from backstage and one of the final shows of the tour, finally viewed as an audience member.
Getting progressively sillier with every scene and ever funnier, Noises Off is a masterpiece of comedy.

Next episode I'll be chatting to actor Rohan Gotobed about Tony Kushner's play Angels in America Part One: Millennium Approaches.
