The play-within-a-play format allows playwright Mlichael Frayn to cleverly show us what happens on both -ides of the curtain during an ill-fated tour of a farce called Nothing. On. The firat of three acta is slow going, since w. are lot in on a strai.ned final rehearsal of the play. However, it *lets us get- to know the characters, so w. can appreciate somo of the more frenzied action tocéome ini the second two acta.* If you show patience with that fifrt adt, and oeloka few lapssin British accent- making, you will, be rewarded with a-msn poek bèhind thesaneausihe backstage politics and znixed- Up romances of the s3tressed- out troupe. 111 A few standouts help the nine-person cast through the show, which requires deft timing and a highi ham quotient;" Donn 1a Graham is perfectly unflappable -as the self- possessed young actress Brooke, vainly oblivious to. the fr-antic goings-on swirling around her. Mke Trites contributes some fine physical comedy as Frederick Fellowes, and Deb Smith is appropriateîy vuinerable as the put-upon stage assstant Poppy. Carol Laing and Ted Woodhouse are nicely cast as two veteran members of the strgglnig cast. And Dob Smytli' adaptable set practically becomes a tenth cast member, letting us watch the action on bath aides of the curtain. Noime Off, directed . by D'AcySmyh, continues at th saa Little Theatre the next two weelcends. For more information, cali OLT at 723-282 Entertainment Fr1. Sept. 27th & Sat.
