MICHAEL Frayn's classic comedy Noises Off, starring well known television faces Paul Bradley, Cheryl Campbell, Philip Franks and Sylvester McCoy, comes to The Lowry from February 10 to 15 as part of its 21st birthday tour.

This time round the comic romp offers two plays for the price of one. While the traditional British farce Nothing On is being performed, a real life farce is unfolding backstage during the show's final rehearsal.

Nothing On and Noises Off merge as the actors make their exits from one play only to find themselves making entrances into the other.

Tickets for this Royal National Theatre production are available at the box office on 0870 111 2000.
