USCB Center for the Arts presents hilarious British farce - NOISES OFF
Date: April 6, 2013 - April 14, 2013
Event Description
USCB Center for the Arts in Beaufort will present the Beaufort Theatre production of “Noises Off” on April 6 and 7, and again on April 12, 13 and 14.
“Noises Off” is a classic British farce written by Michael Frayn and opened in London in 1982. Since then it has been entertaining audiences all over the world and is, as reviewed in the New York Times, “A spectacularly funny, peerless backstage farce. This dizzy, well-known romp is a festival of delirium.”
Gail Westerfield directs the manic menagerie of itinerant actors rehearsing a dismal flop of a play called “Nothing’s On.” There is a love triangle which leads to deteriorating personal relationships among the cast and causes offstage chaos and onstage bedlam. The title of the play is taken from theatrical stage direction which means “sounds that originate offstage.”
Performances begin at USCB Center for the Arts Theatre at 801 Carteret Street on Saturday and Sunday, April 6 and 7, and again the following weekend on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, April 12, 13 and 14. Friday and Saturday curtains are at 7:30 p.m., Sundays at 3:00 p.m. Reserve seats $20; Adults $18; Seniors $15. Call the Box Office between 10 and 3 weekdays, 843-521-4145.
