West End star and three-time Olivier Award-winning actress Katherine Kingsley (Piaf, Singin’ in the Rain, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels) will join the cast of Noises Off at the Phoenix Theatre from 13 February 2023.
Kingsley will play Belinda Blair, taking over from Tracey-Ann Oberman whose final performance in Michael Frayn’s classic comedy will be on Saturday 11 February. Oberman leaves the production to open her own production of The Merchant of Venice 1936, later this month.
Directed by Lindsay Posner (God of Carnage, Hay Fever), this hilarious farce features an all-star cast including Felicity Kendal (The Good Life, Relatively Speaking and Hay Fever) as Dotty Otley, stage and screen actors Matthew Kelly (The Dresser, Waiting For Godot) as Selsdon Mowbray, and Jonathan Coy (Relatively Speaking) as Fredrick Fellows.
Other cast include Alexander Hanson as Lloyd Dallas, Joseph Millson as Garry Lejeune, Sasha Frost as Brooke Ashton, Pepter Lunkhuse as Poppy Norton Taylor, and Hubert Burton as Tim.
Frequently hailed as one of the best comedies ever written, this new production of Noises Off celebrates the play’s 40th anniversary, and follows the on and off-stage antics of a touring theatre company as they stumble their way through the fictional farce.
