David Furr has bruises; lots and lots of bruises. In his stellar performance as Gary Lejeune in the current revival of Michael Frayne's hilarious NOISES OFF, Furr slides on a floor scattered with sardines, stumbles down one staircase. slips across a balcony, gets his foot caught in a box of theatrical props, wields a hatchet and falls down yet another staircase which crumbles apart as he does so. It's an understatement to say that his role is physically demanding.

The shenanigans carry over offstage at the hit new Broadway revival of Noises Off. Below, see what happens when cast member Rob McClure surprises some unsuspecting fans during a post-show interview.
