Following its sell-out success at the Lyric Hammersmith, Michael Frayn’s iconic British comedy Noises Off transfers to the West End, starring Meera Syal, Daniel Rigby, Lloyd Owen and Simon Rouse and directed by Jeremy Herrin. This play-within-the-play, which actually premiered at the Lyric in 1982, is as fresh and riotous as ever, taking audiences behind the scenes with a company of hapless actors. As they bounce between back and front of stage with split-second timing to rival a magician’s trickery, you’ll be left rolling in the aisles.

Meanwhile, back at the Lyric Hammersmith, Rachel O’Riordan makes her directorial debut as the theatre’s new artistic director with a bold new adaptation of Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House. Writer Tanika Gupta offers a fascinating new female perspective on this classic play of gender politics.
