| | London theatre tickets comedy Noises Off on stage at London's West End Piccadilly Theatre - ticket buying and theater ... |
 | | Jeremy Sams' recent London directing credits include Enter The Guardsman (Donmar Warehouse September 1997), 2 Pianos, 4 Hands (Comedy Theatre October 1999), Spend, Spend, Spend (Piccadilly Theatre October 1999) and the revival of Michael Frayn's 1984 play Benefactors (Albery Theatre June 2002). |
 | | Jeremy Sams's splendidly cast revival in the Lyttelton is undoubtedly a joy and a riot, but through the first half of the evening, I felt that its location, in the temple of Art that is the National Theatre, had a slightly deadening effect on the proceedings. |
 | | Sams deftly accelerates the action, spiralling it towards the panic stations caused by missed cues, missed actors, missing contact lenses and sheer mistakes: athletic actors hurtle and tumble out of doors, break out in mute backstage violence, while a sheikh and his wife end up tied together in quite the wrong way. |
