The Pinelands Thespians will be performing the play “Noises Off” at 7 p.m. on Nov. 22, 23 and 24 in the Pinelands Regional High School auditorium. Frank Rich, the legendary chief theater critic of The New York Times from 1980 through 1993, called it “the funniest play written in my lifetime.” High praise from a man who was nicknamed the “Butcher of Broadway” because his negative reviews often forced shows to close almost immediately.

“Noises Off,” written by English playwright Michael Frayn in 1982, is a classic farce.
