Noises Off (1992)
On we blindly stumble, as the Ramblin gang tackles Peter Bogdanovich’s 1992 adaptation of classic farce NOISES OFF. For this episode we’re joined by our resident expert on the matter (she’s seen it three times in the theatre!) Emily Tatham, who helps bring the requisite amount of chaos to a discussion of a movie about a play that goes horribly wrong. Together we take a journey through Bogdanovich’s tumultuous career, pitch our own Roger Corman pictures, practise our Michael Caine impressions and try not to slip on the sardines. We also try to make time to talk about whether it’s possible to successfully adapt something so dependent on the live sage, what’s required when transitioning a work to the big screen and whether Michael Frayn’s play loves or hates actors. But will we remember to hit our marks on the night? Join us and find out! Follow the podcast on Twitter (@RamblinAmblin) and be sure to like and subscribe so you don’t miss an episode!
