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. Frayn 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!

Benny Hannah of Tennessee Valley Sons of the American Revolution clears some of the vegetation at a small family cemetery that includes the gravesite of John Menefee, a Revolutionary War veteran and the first judge in what became Morgan County.
Madison man helps locate graves of Revolutionary War veterans By ERICA SMITH The Decatur Daily MADISON - An organization marking local gravesites of people who fought in the Revolutionary War came across a name among the war’s veterans about a year ago: John Menefee, the first judge in what became Morgan County. But that created a separate dilemma for the the Tennessee Valley Sons of the American Revolution (SAR). The group’s members didn’t know the burial spot of Menefee — who risked his life simply by taking an oath in 1777 to the colonies battling England. Benny Hannah of Madison, a past president of the Tennessee Valley SAR and chairman of its patriot burials, began a threemonth research process to find Menefee’s gravesite, turning to the geography department at the University of Alabama at Birmingham for help. “I secured a list of cemeteries. From that list I started going through and looking for the ones that were closest to us,” Hannah said. “Based on the information we got from the (UAB) mapping department, we went back and located it … and found the tomb-

The Tennessee Valley SAR hopes to restore Menefee’s broken headstone and hold a grave marking ceremony for him later this
year or in 2023 as it continues an effort to locate gravesites and have ceremonies for all the Revolutionary War patriots — their term for those Americans who fought in the Revolutionary War — buried in three local counties, including Madison County. “To date, we believe that over 30 patriots died in Morgan CounSee HANNAH Page 8A
