Almost 4 decades after BENEFACTORS premiered in 1984, Michael Frayn’s comic contemplation of the effect of an Architect’s solution to London’s housing crisis on his family and friends retains a relevance as human behavior with regards to giving and taking, supporting and surviving is eternal.

Noises Off is a masterclass in timing and physical comedy. The precision with which the actors execute their slapstick routines and intricate movements is truly remarkable. The well-timed door slams, missed cues, and perfectly choreographed chaos complement a perfectly written script that has audiences roaring with laughter.
