Michael Frayn’s “Noises Off!” A fast paced, hilarious comedy presented by Haslemere Thespians!  Brimming with slapstick comedy, “Noises Off” takes a fond look at the follies of theatre folk and how their off- stage chaos affects their on-stage performances!  In this farce to end all farces you can look forward to slamming doors, falling trousers, scantily clad ladies and flying sardines – all in the best possible taste of course!  A performance of superb comedic timing guaranteed to leave you laughing!
