NOISES OFF
The Most Outrageous Comedy Ever Staged!
A Play in Hindi with English Supertitles
Audition Date: Saturday, February 27, 2016, 9 am - 4 pm Audition
Show Dates: May 7-15, 2016
About the Play
Often called the funniest farce ever written, Michael’s Frayn’s Noises Off is a play-within-a-play, presenting a manic menagerie as a cast of actors rehearsing a sex romp hours before opening night. Lines are forgotten, love triangles unravel, gloves and clothes come off, and there are flying fish everywhere. Can the cast pull their act together on stage amidst all this pandemonium?
The New York Times once called the play “the most dexterously realized comedy ever about putting on a comedy”. The Wall Street Journal said "If laughter is the best medicine, this flawless show is capable of curing double pneumonia." Noises Off has won the Lawrence Olivier Award for Best Play and the London Evening Standard Award for Best Comedy.

About the Play
A half-blind, bumbling tea-seller in Delhi rises to become Prime Minister of India in this hilarious and hard-hitting satire on Indian democracy. Based on the 2007 novel The Peacock Throne, acclaimed by Time and The Guardian, the play is a grand farce, starting with the 1984 anti-Sikh riots that followed the assassination of Indira Gandhi, and ending with the election that threw up a hung parliament in 1989. Tucked amidst these momentous events is the tale of a humble and foolish tea-seller, whose rise to power is the bittersweet story of India itself. The play features spectacular sets, costumes and lights, along with live music by Nachiketa Yakkundi and his team, and dance by Niharika Mohanty, Deepa Mahadevan, Madhuri Kishore and their team. The whole play rhymes. Mr India is Naatak's 54th production and is the winner of a Knight Foundation award. It will be the largest production ever staged by Naatak. There will be as many as 50 people on stage, and we will perform as many as 13 shows.Language: Hindi (with English supertitles) Run-time: 2 hours 20 minutes (includes a 15-minute intermission, during which tea and samosas are available for purchase) Children under 7 will not be admitted
