The British play Noises Off is bound to have you in stitches. Written by Michael Frayn, Noises Off can be considered a farce within a comedy and gives an inside look at all the antics of the theatre: the ups, downs, backstabbing, and relationships that form while a play is being produced and performed.

Noises Off follow a group of actors preparing for a cringe-worthy production called “Nothing-On.” What follows is on-stage misdirection, misunderstandings, doors that will not work, and props that aren’t there. Theatregoers are promised a glimpse of what happens backstage as the stage will literally turn. The actor’s best and worst sides are displayed, revealing their mysteries of trying to keep track of their newspapers, plants, lovers, missing cast members and a few plates of Sardines.

Noises Off will be featuring third-year students of the Department of Drama and Theatre Arts of the University of the Free State. Directed by Thys Heydenrych. It will be performed from 26 to 29 September 2018 at the Wynand Mouton Theatre, UFS campus, at 19:30. Tickets are available at Computicket.

This production is appreciated by an audience of age 15 and over because of a more … grown-up storyline.

The production is made possible with the support from Creative Kilowatt and Iewers Nice.

Synopsis

Play Me is a story of what can go wrong in a relationship if the cracks are left to exist without repair.  The cracks open wider and, like an open wound, begin to fester and – ultimately – rot. This story of power and love explores those seven deadly sins through the life of an unstable couple who invite “strangers’ into their lives to level the playground. This metaphor is beautifully captured on stage by four characters, Joe, Jack, Pretty, and Julia. Play Me is a riveting drama, full of wit, sex and intrigue, all going to the heart of present day South Africa’s struggle for equality and opportunity for all.
