Samahaara Theatre Festival: Michael Frayn's "Noises Off" - English Play By St. Francis Degree College for Women: Events in Hyderabad

REVIEW FOR SAMAHAARA THEATRE FESTIVAL: MICHAEL...

As part of Samahaara's Hyderabad Annual Theatre Festival, St. Francis Degree College For Women is presenting an English play, Michael Frayn's "Noises Off" on 14th December at 7:30pm, at Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan. The play is directed by Maryam Sultana.

Michael Frayn's "Noises Off!" comprises 14 diverse characters, played by 9 actors, and involves a bunch of emotions, eccentricities and whims, and much confusion.

Noises Off! is a play about a play. In the story, an ambitious director works on a play called "Nothing's On", with a troupe of actors and crew members interwoven in a complex web of human relationships.

The 12-week traveling exhibition of Noises Off starts off with a performance that is barely patched together, and that sours soon after take-off with a lovers' tiff threatening to tear them all apart. The director returns to Nothing's On to find it threadbare, with a disastrous performance forming the cherry atop the shoddy cake.

The characters are found miming, screaming, shouting, whispering, covering up, prompting and creating chaos in general.

The cast is as follows:

Dotty Otley - Harika Vankadara

Lloyd Dallas - Maryam Sultana

Garry Lejeune - Tanya Baboo

Brooke Ashton Fellowes - Alice Rosario

Fredrick Fellows - Deepti Sardesai

Belinda Blair - Adithi Gautam

Selsdon Mowbray - Ashal Swathi

Tim Allgood - Suhani Gupta

Poppy Taylor - Karishma Wadhwa

Passes of Rs. 100, Rs. 250 and Rs. 500 are available at the venue, and at Landmark stores (Banjara Hills & Begumpet).
