Borderline Players present the beloved farce Noises Off by Michael Frayn, April 28-30 and May 5-7, 2023 at the Haskell Opera House.
The production features a mix of veteran local actors along with some new additions to the Borderline Players team, including director Leesa Guay-Timpson, who has returned to her Northeast Kingdom roots after years of teaching and directing young people.
Noises Off takes a fond look at the follies of theatre folk, whose susceptibility to out-of-control egos, memory loss, and passionate affairs turn every performance into a high-risk adventure. This play-within-a-play captures a touring theatre troupe’s production of Nothing On in three stages: dress rehearsal, the opening performance, and a performance towards the end of a debilitating run. Frayne gives us a window into the inner workings of theatre behind the scenes, progressing from flubbed lines and missed cues in the dress rehearsal to mounting friction between cast members in the final performance. Brimming with slapstick comedy, Noises Off is a delightful backstage farce, complete with slamming doors, falling trousers, and -- of course -- flying sardines!
