Sophocles. Thebes is divided. With one brother killed on each side of the city’s border, Antigone must decide to follow the town’s laws as set forth by her uncle King Creon or defy his orders to give her brother a proper burial.

NOISES OFF!: Michael Frayn’s play takes a fond look at the follies of theater folk, whose susceptibility to out-of-control egos, memory loss and passionate affairs turn every performance into a high-risk adventure. This play-withina-play captures a touring theater 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 theater behind the scenes, progressing from flubbed lines and missed cues in the dress rehearsal to mounting friction between cast members in the final performance. Fri, 3/6-Sat, 3/7, 7:30pm; Sun, 3/8, 2pm;
