Tracy-Ann Oberman and Matthew Kelly join cast of NOISES OFF 40th Anniversary tour

Full casting has been announced for the 40th Anniversary tour of Michael Frayn’s multi award-winning farce Noises Off, which will open at Theatre Royal Bath from 22 September, before heading on to Richmond, Brighton and Cambridge.

Joining the previously announced Felicity Kendal (The Good Life, Relatively Speaking and Hay Fever) as Dotty Otley will be stage and screen actors Tracy-Ann Oberman (EastEnders, Friday Night Dinner and Edmond) as Belinda Blair and Matthew Kelly (The Dresser, Waiting For Godot) as Selsdon Mowbray.

Completing the cast are Alexander Hanson as Lloyd Dallas, Joseph Millson as Garry Lejeune, Sasha Frost as Brooke Ashton, Pepter Lunkhuse as Poppy Norton Taylor, Jonathan Coy as Fredrick Fellows, and Hubert Burton as Tim.

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.

Noises Off is directed by Lindsay Posner, with design by Simon Higlett, lighting by Paul Pyant, sound by Greg Clarke, composition by Will Stuart, movement direction by Ruth Cooper-Brown, and casting by Ginny Schiller.
