7. See hilarious play about...a disastrous play

What: Chaos and mishaps
Where: Grand Théâtre, 1 Bd Robert Schuman, 2525 Luxembourg
When: Friday, 13 June – Saturday, 14 June – info & tickets

Often hailed as the most successful British comedy of the 20th century, Noises Off is structured as a play within a play, offering a hilarious behind-the-scenes look at the inner workings of a theatre production. The plot revolves around a troupe of actors on a disastrous provincial tour with a mediocre farce titled Nothing On. As the play progresses, we get to witness the chaos and mishaps that occur on stage and backstage during the rehearsals and performances, including flubbed lines, misplaced props, malfunctioning set pieces, romantic entanglements, and personal rivalries.
