Noises Off
June 15 & 16 @ 7:00 PM
County Players Falls Theatre
2681 W. Main St
Wappingers Falls, NY
Synopsis:
Noises Off is a 1982 play by Michael Frayn. The idea for it was born in 1970, when Frayn was standing in the wings watching a performance of Chinamen, a farce that he had written for Lynn Redgrave. According to the playwright, "It was funnier from behind than in front and I thought that one day I must write a farce from behind."
Details:
Noises Off is "the funniest farce ever written" according to the New York Post. The play follows a troupe of actors in production of a rather silly bedroom farce called "Nothing On". Needed are five men and four women as follows:
Dotty Otley (Mrs. Clackett): an experienced actress facing middle age and the twilight of her career. She plays the role of the housekeeper in "Nothing On".
Brooke Ashton (Vicki): a twenty-something actress, very attractive, who spends a good deal of the show running around in her underwear.
Belinda Blair (Flavia Brent): Belinda is in her 30's and is the only one who seems in control. She's nearly always calm and knows what's going on.
Poppy Taylor: Assistant Stage Manager for "Nothing On". In her late 20's or early 30's. Overworked, underpaid, very nervous but not without her charm. Would do anything for Lloyd (and has).
Lloyd Dallas: Director of "Nothing On". At wits end trying to manage the zany personalities of his cast. Late 30's to late 40's
Garry Lejeune (Roger Tramplemain): Young, handsome actor who can't complete a thought and has a jealous streak a mile wide. Late 20's to late 30's.
Frederick Fellows (Phillip Brent): Reasonably poor actor but likeable. Slightly oblivious and over-sensitive. Late 30's to early 50's.
Selsdon Mobray (Burglar): Aging drunk. Used to be a half decent actor but the years have not been kind. Can't hear all that well and consistently misses cues. Could be any age but played as decrepit.
Tim Allgood: Stage Manager for "Nothing On". Has to be everywhere and do everything. Hasn't slept in days. Could be 20's to 50's
