Michael Frayn's classic farce about a farce, Noises Off, which has played all over the world where theatre is done, returns to the West End for the fourth time as it heads to the Garrick Theatre from 27th September 2019 to 4th January 2020. a?oeIs this the funniest farce ever?a?? asked the Evening Standard when this production opened at the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre. And replied: a?oeYes. Yes it is.a??

The multi award winning backstage comedy, which runs from 27 June until 27 July, will be directed by Jeremy Herrin and designed by Max Jones in a new production.
