Alireza Koushk- Jalali directs Michael Frayn’s Noise Off

Iran Theater- The first performance of "Noises Off" was dedicated to the dead by Covid 19 in the presence of special guests and audiences.

An adaptation of Noises off by Michael Frayn, translated and directed by Alireza Kooshakjalali, co-produced by Hamidreza Alinejad and Hatef Kalateh, is on stage at the Rosa Hall of the Erfan Cultural Complex.

Michael Frayn's Noises Off takes a fond look at the follies of theatre folk, whose susceptibility to out-of-control egos, memory loss, and passionate affairs turn every performance into a high-risk adventure. This play-within-a-play captures a touring theatre troupe’s production of Nothing On in three stages: dress rehearsal, the opening performance, and a performance towards the end of a debilitating run. Frayne gives us a window into the inner workings of theatre behind the scenes, progressing from flubbed lines and missed cues in the dress rehearsal to mounting friction between cast members in the final performance. Brimming with slapstick comedy, Noises Off is a delightful backstage farce, complete with slamming doors, falling trousers, and -- of course -- flying sardines!

Elham Pavehnejad, Amin Miri, Sam Kaboudvand, Sadaf Espahbodi, Elahe Farazmand, Misagh Zare, Diba Zahedi, Alipouya Ghasemi, Ali Abdali and Majid Omidi star in the show.
