All performances at 8pm Curio Theatre Company finishes its 10th Anniversary Season with Michael Frayn’s hilarious theatre satire, *Noises Off*. Called "the funniest farce ever written" by *The New York Post*, *Noises Off, *Michael Frayn's uproarious play within a play follows the on-and off-stage antics of the members of a mediocre touring company as they blunder from an ominously bad dress rehearsal to a spectacularly disastrous performance. This 1982 play came about in the 70s when Frayn was watching from the wings a performance of *The Two of Us*, a farce that he had written for Lynn Redgrave. He said, "It was funnier from behind than in front, and I thought that one day I must write a farce from behind." The prototype, a short-lived one-act play called *Exits*, was written and performed in 1977. At the request of his associate, Michael Codron, Frayn expanded this into what would become *Noises Off*. It takes its title from the theatrical stage direction indicating sounds coming from offstage. *Curio is giving away a chance to win two season passes to next season to anyone who attends opening night dressed 80s style! *There will be a contest!!!
