Warkworth Theatre Group will present Nooses Off by Don Zolidis this month – a variation on Michael Frayn’s 1982 comedy Noises Off.
In Nooses Off, a cast of struggling actors and crew labour to bring an amateur theatre company’s whodunnit to the stage.
But little goes right for the bumbling thespians who are beset by a revolving door of romances, a costume designer bent on revenge and a plethora of misunderstandings.
The audience is treated to all the fast-paced backstage antics, from rehearsal to opening night, of a play that is doomed.
Director Lee-Anne Scarth says that it has been an interesting process directing a play of this type, with so much going on at any given time and a large cast of 15 to direct.
“However, the actors have risen to the challenge and I’m sure our audience are in for a wonderful night of laughter, with a healthy dose of chaos and a bit of confusion,” she says.
Nooses Off opens on Wednesday, November 27 at the Warkworth Town Hall and runs until Saturday, November 30.
Performances start at 7.30pm each night and there is a 2pm performance on Saturday, November 30. A cash bar is available.
Tickets are available from wwtheatre.co.nz, trybooking.com and Mahurangi Matters.
