Dress Rehearsal

From Noises Off

By Michael Frayn

Lloyd:Listen, since we've stopped anyway... Ok, it took two days to get the set up, so we shan't have time for a dress rehearsal. Don't worry. Think of the first night as a dress rehearsal. If we can just get through the play once tonight for doors and sardines...

That's what it's all about; doors and sardines. Getting on --- getting off. Getting the sardines on, getting the sardines off. That's farce. That's the theatre... That's life.

So just keep going. Bang, bang, bang. Bang, you're on. Bang, you've said it.  Bang, you're off. And everything will be perfectly---where's Selsdon???
