For those who love a good British farce, imagine the joy of being able to watch the mayhem going on behind the scenes as well as that taking place on the stage. British playwright Michael Frayne's hysterically funny play, Noises Off, does exactly that. He takes audiences 'backstage' for rehearsals and then onstage performances of a comedy that goes hilariously wrong during its 10-week run. As the actors struggle to produce a flop called Nothing On, doors are slammed, cues are missed, and sardines are spilled as lives and careers dangle in the balance.

The curse struck again on press night of The Watermill Theatre's London transfer of Macbeth, with Lauryn Redding (allegedly) dislocating both knees during Paul Hart's energetic opening. A hero was lying low in the audience. Emma Barclay, former Lady Macduff of the project when it was touring the country last year and a guest on the evening, took over and delivered the role and ensemble track flawlessly and seemingly off book. The show went on to be an electric and sexually charged revisitation of the tragedy.
