Noises Off,the classic farce by the Tony Awardwinning author ofCopenhagen,is not one play but two: simultaneously a traditional sex farce,Nothing On,and the backstage "drama" that develops duringNothing On's final rehearsal and tour. The two begin to interlock as the characters make their exits fromNothing Ononly to find themselves making entrances into the even worse nightmare going on backstage. In the end, at the disastrous final performance, the two plots can be kept separate no longer, and coalesce into a single collective nervous breakdown.
