Noises Off - Written by Michael Frayn
Directed by David Moore

Interest Evening - Thursday 27 June 2019 at 1930
Auditions Saturday 6th July 2019 at 1100 (group audition)
at Te Awamutu Light Operatic Society (TALOS), The Woolshed Theatre, Mahoe Street, Te Awamutu

Season 23 November to 7 December 2019

For more information email Dave at lomlfe@gmail.com

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.

* Personal experience about a valuable herb:
Olive Leaf for Viruses. I can now say with confidence it works. Last year I got a heavy cold that I just couldnt shake. I was sick of being told viruses have to run their course. I turned to a book I had on olive leaf and read how it can deal to things like herpes etc. As a music teacher taking time off is not user friendly! I had been sick for weeks and nothing was working. I got onto olive leaf and had instant results. This year, even though I have had many 'beginnings' of a bott (sore throat, sneezing, runny nose, foggy head) within hours of taking olive leaf ie taking a tsp of powder every few hours, symptoms leave and I win. I think the powder is more effective than the tablets, as I have tried both, but the powder is very bitter. Not for the fainthearted. I use a little fruit juice to wash it down.
My hope with sharing this experience is that it may also help others.

Poll: Is it time to lower the speed limit on NZ's open roads?

Stacey Reporter from Stuff

Long-term road safety data from NZTA suggests speed limits on almost 90 per cent of the country's roads are too high and should be lowered.

In 2019 so far, 172 people have been killed on New Zealand's roads, six more than at the same time last year.

Long-term road safety data from NZTA suggests speed limits on almost 90 per cent of the country's roads are too high and should be lowered.

In 2019 so far, 172 people have been killed on New Zealand's roads, six more than at the same time last year.

Ministry of Transport data for 2016, the most recent available on its website, makes for sobering reading – 328 deaths from 286 fatal road crashes, or 0.9 deaths for every 10,000 vehicles.
