The Stephen Joseph Theatre has announced the cast for its upcoming production of Noises Off, the first time Michael Frayn’s legendary farce will be staged in-the-round.

Running from 9 August to 6 September 2025, the production will be directed by Paul Robinson and features a stellar cast including Valerie Antwi, Adam Astill, Andy Cryer, Christopher Godwin, Annie Kirkman, Alex Phelps, Charlie Ryan, Susan Twist and Olivia Woolhouse.

Noises Off is widely regarded as one of the greatest British comedies ever written. It follows the chaotic backstage antics of a touring theatre company as they attempt to stage the fictional farce Nothing On.

       

Audiences will be treated to three acts of escalating hilarity: a shambolic final rehearsal, a backstage view of a disastrous matinee, and a brilliantly catastrophic final performance.

Director Paul Robinson said: “I’ve wanted to direct Noises Off for years. The assumption was that doing it in the round was impossible – when I told Michael Frayn about our plans, his response was an amused ‘good luck!’

“Our designer, Kevin Jenkins and I have spent months meticulously planning and he has come up with an ingenious set which has really been worth the wait.

“One of the greatest British comedies ever written, Noises Off is a hilarious and heartfelt tribute to the world of theatre but also about how futile it is to try to impose our ideas on the world around us, as things will always go wrong. It’s how you respond to them when they do!”

The creative team includes designer Kevin Jenkins, lighting designer Jane Lalljee, composer Simon Slater, sound designer Ernest Acquah, and associate director Kaitlin Howard. Wardrobe supervision is by Julia Perry-Mook, with casting by Sarah Hughes CDG.
