Noises off

Start: 19 March 2022

Michael Frayn’s iconic, famous comedy “Noises Off” comes to Pallas Theatre, directed by Konstantinos Markoulakis, with a star-studded cast on stage!
Konstantinos Markoulakis directs for the first time a pure comedy, immediately after the success of “The Third Wedding” – the great production that managed to triumph even in the pandemic era – again at Pallas Theatre. This time, he puts his stamp on this frenetic comedy, not only leading an all-star company, but also taking to the stage himself. Joining him in the organized chaos of this masterfully written comic farce are Smaragda Karidi, Odysseus Papaspiliopoulos, Stefania Goulioti, George Chrysostomou and Lena Papaligura. The team is completed by George Psychogios, Daphne David and George Zygouris.
“Save” has been presented several times in the past in Greece. The first time it was directed by Andreas Voutsinas, at the “Minoa” theatre in 1983. In 1995 it was presented in the production of Stamatis Fassoulis at the “Athinaion” theatre.
The original play “Noises Off” premiered in 1982 in London. The spine-tingling comedy was written several years earlier, when the award-winning English playwright Michael Frayn (Olivier Awards 1976 & 1982, Tony Award 2000, EMMY Award 1990, etc.), inspired “Noises Off” in 1970, while watching from the box seats of a London theatre a theatrical farce written for comedian Lynn Redgrave. Later, he said: “it was funnier to watch it from the quintet than from the theatre square, and I thought one day I should write a theatre comedy about all that goes on behind the scenes.”
Konstantinos Markoulakis, Smaragda Karidi, Odysseas Papaspiliopoulos, Stefania Goulioti, Giorgos Chrysostomou and Lena Papaligoura in a hilarious comedy that becomes “the save”.
