Often called 'the funniest farce ever written', Noises Off presents a manic menagerie of itinerant inept actors rehearsing a flop called 'Nothing On'. On and off stage rivalries abound, doors slamming, props going missing, doors sticking, egos and pride getting bruised, with chaos waiting in the wings at every turn, plus the odd sardine or two...... All this comes together in a high paced, slick and hilariously comical play.
The story is told in three acts, and plays itself out in a 'play-within-a-play', commencing only hours before the opening of their production, and the touring company is hurriedly running through the dress rehearsal in The Grand Theatre, Weston-Super-Mare, before the audience arrives. Act 2 moves forward in time by several weeks. Entrances and exits being made...... or not, arguments, alcohol, stress and sustained agitation contribute to disaster waiting around the corner. Finally, we reach sublime deterioration in Act 3, scenery collapses, props explode and our cast has become feral.
Please note, as Noises Off is such a fast paced, frenetic foray into the absurd and improbable, and added that some actors will be required to play two characters (one off stage and one on stage), the auditions will be presented in a group format, employing set fictitious situations and scenarios to act out. This will aid the casting process.

A Neighbourly Riddle! Don’t Overthink It… Or Do?😜
Do you think you know the answer? Simply 'Like' this post if you know the answer and the big reveal will be posted in the comments at 2pm on the day!
If you multiply this number by any other number, the answer will always be the same. What number is this?
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.4% ... It is complicated
Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?
The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.
Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.
We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
-
9.7% For. Self-service is less frustrating and convenient.
-
43.1% I want to be able to choose.
-
47.2% Against. I want to deal with people.
