Widely acclaimed as the “funniest farce ever written,” Michael Frayn’s Noises Off is a brilliantly crafted backstage comedy that has earned worldwide praise. This hilarious play follows a hapless theater company whose attempt to stage a simple bedroom farce spirals into chaos. With slamming doors, mistaken identities, and rapid-fire physical comedy, Noises Off is a laugh-out-loud celebration of theatrical mayhem and perfect timing.

Noises Off opens September 4 and runs through September 27. Grab your tickets now at harttheatre.org or call the box office at 828-456-6322!
