Noises Off, Theatre Review. The Lowry, Salford.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

Cast: Maureen Beattie, Neil Pearson, David Bark-Jones, Thomasin Rand, Danielle Flett, Chris Larkin, Sasha Waddell, Simon Bubb, Geoffrey Freshwater.

What Noises Off brings to the stage, is the sense of what regional theatre really is like, fly by the seats mayhem, utter confusion and misunderstanding and above all just the most amazing and side splittingly funny couple of hours you can ever hope to have in a theatre.

The Lowry in Salford is the latest venue to host Michael Frayn’s incredible farce and with a cast that you just want to carry on forever, causing mayhem and theatrical anarchy as they go.

Hugh Cornwell, Gig Review. The Lowry, Salford.

Originally published by L.S. Media. January 30th 2012.

L.S. Media Rating ****

If you are going to visit the The Lowry Theatre in Salford for the first time then it’s best to make the most of your time on stage. Hugh Cornwell has been around in the music scene for a long time, he’s seen it sang it and sold the tee-shirts by the lorry load, in terms of music he stands out as one of the greats but even the greats have a first night somewhere.
