Theatre Royal Bath Productions have announced that Michael Frayn’s multi award-winning farce Noises Off will return to the West End with a twelve-week season at the Theatre Royal Haymarket from 27 September.

Noises Off will star Felicity Kendal as Dotty, Jonathan Coy as Frederick Fellows and Alexander Hanson as Lloyd Dallas, with further casting to be announced.

This celebrated 40th Anniversary production, directed by Lindsay Posner, opened to critical acclaim at Theatre Royal Bath in Autumn 2022 before transferring for its initial West End run to the Phoenix Theatre in January this year where it received ecstatic reviews.

One of the greatest British comedies ever written, Michael Frayn’s celebrated play serves up a riotous double bill – a play within a play. Hurtling along at breakneck speed, Noises Off follows the on and off-stage antics of a touring theatre company as they stumble their way through the fictional farce, Nothing On. From the shambolic final rehearsals before opening night in Weston-super-Mare, to a disastrous matinee in Ashton-Under-Lyme seen entirely, and hilariously silently, from backstage, before we share their final, brilliantly catastrophic performance in Stockton-on-Tees.

The production has design by Simon Higlett, with lighting by Paul Pyant, sound by Greg Clarke, composition by Will Stuart, movement and fight direction by Ruth Cooper-Brown, and casting by Ginny Schiller.
