Michael Frayn’s ‘Noises Off’ Returns to Broadway

I would go see that one.
The movie, with an all-star cast*, is LOL hilarious.**  Very fast, very funny.  (and I'm not even a play person, really.)

"It was funnier from behind than in front, and I thought that one day I must write a farce from behind."
--------------------
*  John Ritter, Marilu Henner, Christopher Reeve, Michael Caine, Carol Burnett, Mark-Lin Baker, Nicolette Sheridan, Julie Hagerty... and the wonderful old Denholm Elliott.  The latter really stole the show as Selsdon!, in his last role...

"Never act with children, dogs, or Denholm Elliott."
~ Gabriel Byrne

** Bogdanovich's best work, imho.

"If you can't laugh at this, then you're probably all dead... Can't touch this!"
