From their first blind date, which includes an unscheduled visit to the police station, these 30-somethings, along with the newlyweds who set them up, surprise us?and themselves?in a comedy thriller The New York Times called "ferociously funny."

    02/06/09- 03/08/09	Noises Off South Coast Repertory - Segerstrom Stage Noises Off Presented by South Coast Repertory at South Coast Repertory - Segerstrom Stage February 6-March 8, 2009 Noises Off is a perfectly delightful farce about Nothing On, which is a purposefully terrible play about sexual dalliances. This play-within-a-play is interrupted as actors come and go, usually at the wrong time and through the wrong doors, while off-stage assignations lead to on-stage chaos. From first rehearsal to final performance the delirium never ends. Bring extra oxygen!

Only Pulitzer Prize finalist Amy Freed, whose comic take on historical events is nothing short of inspired. South Coast Repertory audiences will never forget The Beard of Avon, her hilarious romp back to Stratford-Upon-Avon to consider who might have been the genius behind Shakespeare. According to CurtainUp, the comedy "would probably amuse the great wordsmith himself - whoever he might be." In her...

      If you like an emotional rollercoaster, a play that makes you cry while you are laughing, this is a great one. Enlightening, moving, funny - enjoy this play. It might be the best one this year.
