NOISES OFF, one of the funniest stage-plays ever written, needs a cast with ultra sharp comedic skills and exceptional timing.

Bringing that lightning-in-a-bottle performance magic to the Geffen is a brilliant ensemble that is the heart of the show. And keeping that heart beating as fast as the slamming doors throughout the show is director Anna D. Shapiro.
The cast features Vaneh Assadourian, Amanda Fink, Audrey Francis, Francis Guinan, Rick Holmes, Ora Jones, David Lind, James Vincent Meredith, and Max Stewart. All are masters of taking the physical comedy to the max. They leave you breathless in the outrageous British farce where chaos reigns onstage and backstage.
