Purchase tickets online in desktop mode to ensure seats together.

The historic Royal Theatre presents their production of Michael Frayn’s hilarious off-the-wall comedy, Noises Off. This production is sponsored by Campbell Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. Show dates are from August 11-21, 2022.

Many of you will remember the 1992 film adaptation of Frayn’s play which featured Carol Burnett, John Ritter, Michael Caine and Christopher Reeves. Tony Clay directs this live play-within-a-play that pays homage to the art of theatre-making as chaos reigns onstage and off! Assistant Director is Andrew McBride.

Performance times are as follows:

Thu Aug 11 at 7 p.m.
Fri Aug 12 at 7 p.m.
Sat Aug 13 at 7 p.m.
Sun Aug 14 at 2 p.m.
Thu Aug 18 at 7 p.m.
Fri Aug 19 at 7 p.m.
Sat Aug 20 at 7 p.m.
Sun Aug 21 at 2 p.m.

Frayn’s joyfully out-of-control farce features an under-rehearsed and overworked cast and crew with a penchant for drama more personal than professional, readying themselves for the world premiere of a new play with the auspicious title, Nothing On. As the production progresses, the bumbling cast brings down the house – literally!

Noises Off cast includes Susan Thomey, Jeremy Clay, Gabrielle Neafsey, Stanley Robinson, Hillary Bell, Kurt Leftwich, Amanda Kennedy, Larry Lapaglia, and Garrett Brenneman.

The historic Royal Theatre is located at 111 South Market Street, Benton, AR 72015. Tickets are available at theroyalplayers.ticketleap.com.
