Noises Off was written by Michael Frayn. It's the story of Lloyd Fellowes, who is the director of a theatre company producing a farcical play called Nothing On. Fellowes is desperately trying to get his production together, despite the best efforts of the cast, the crew, and Lady Luck. The audience follows production from final rehearsals, through opening night, and onto the tour. As with any group of actors forced to work closely together for any great length of time, romances and arguments break out. Quite often, what's happening on stage is nothing compared to what's happening backstage.
