Noises Off – 8PM | $22-$25
Theatre at Meiley-Swallow Hall – 31 S. Ellsworth Naperville, IL 60540
What better way to kick off our season of farce with a show thats been enjoyed by millions of people worldwide and hailed as one of the funniest farces ever written Noises Off. This celebrated play serves up a hilarious romp of a comedy within a comedy, hurtling along at breakneck speed and following the backstage antics of a touring theatre company presenting Nothings On as they stumble their way through rehearsals, to a shambolic opening night and to their disastrous final performance. Doors slamming, on and off stage love triangles, falling trousers, flubbed lines, forgotten props, missed entrances, a whiskey loving actor and flying sardines all wickedly figure into the plot of what can happen on the other side of the curtain. The resulting chaos will have you helpless with laughter. Tickets available at www.brightsidetheatre.com or call (630) 447-8497.
