<p>Last night Fliss and I watched the <a class="reference external" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105017/">film</a> version of <a class="reference external" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Frayn">Michael Frayn</a>'s Noises Off. Fliss explained to me that it is a film beloved of theatre technicians due to it's setting, following the goings on behind stage of a dysfunctional group of actors performing a classic English farce. The film version stars Michael Caine and includes fine performances from Carol Burnett, Christopher Reeve and Denholm Elliott.</p> <p>There is not much I can say about the plot as I don't want to spoil it for anyone. However it is a laugh out loud comedy that had been literally crying with laughter throughout. I'd quite like to see a proper staged version of it some time. Highly recommended.</p>
