Noises Off
2025-05-16 19:30 - 22:30 | 133 S Main St, Summerville, SC, United States, South Carolina 29483
In this well loved comedy, Frayne gives us a window into the inner workings of theatre as the playwithin-the-play gives audiences a look behind the scenes, progressing from flubbed lines and missed cues in the dress rehearsal to mounting friction between cast members in the final performance. Brimming with slapstick comedy, Noises Off is a delightful backstage farce, complete with slamming doors, falling trousers, and — of course — flying sardines!
