Side-splitting laughter and non-stop hilarity are the trademarks of Noises Off. This beloved comedy will have you rolling in the aisles as it follows the zany antics of a dysfunctional cast stumbling their way through a disastrous dress rehearsal, leading to backstage chaos and on-stage mayhem.

A seriously laugh-out-loud, eye-watering performance, the multi-award winning Noises Off is unquestionably not to be missed.

She ended the journey a bit wiser, more hopeful, in love and with a passion to share this story.
