Noises Off

The year 12 drama students from St Stephen's, Duncraig, are staging a production of the highly successful comedy by Michael Frayn.

NOISES OFF follows the on and off stage antics of a second rate theatre company as they stumble from dress rehearsal to disastrous final night of a third-rate comedy called  Nothing On. From the dress rehearsal,  Nothing On  has disaster written all over it. Everything that can go wrong does!

The cast professes much love and togetherness as the show lurches toward its first performance. It turns out to be way too much love and togetherness, of course, and as backstage relationships form and fade, these actors' personal lives intrude into the show itself and ridiculous chaos ensues.

Between the constantly missed entrances, love triangles, Garry's jealousy, Frederick's nosebleeds, and Brooke always losing her contact lenses, the show may never go up.

Sounds confusing….? not at all…..! in fact, they all know what is happening, -- they just aren't on the same page of the script.

With all the comic twists and turns, it's anybody's guess what will happen next.  But like Myra Hess playing on through the air raids ….., the show must go on!  You will laugh till you cry!!!

The staging needed for Noises Off is a huge undertaking and our amazing crew have taken to the challenge with their remarkable ingenuity and enthusiasm.

The performance dates run from August 4th to 7th (inclusive) at 7pm in the St Stephen's School Duncraig Theatre and tickets are only $10.  We welcome individual or group bookings.  Please contact the St Stephen's Administration on 9447 1111 for bookings. If you have any other enquiries, please contact Miss Amanda Crewes on extension 416 or by e-mail at amanda.crewes@ststephens.wa.edu.au.

We hope you will come to support our hard working year 12 students and experience the play that has been called the "funniest farce ever written".
