“Noises Off” Takes Off and Set To Open March 28

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Repertory Philippines proudly presents the hilarious ‘Noises Off’, the third offering for its 77th season.

Written in 1982 by English playwright Michael Frayn, Noises Off—a stage term indicating sounds coming from offstage—is a play within a play, the story of a temperamental director and a troupe of hapless performers putting up a silly sex farce called Nothing On.

The present production of Noises Off, which is directed by Miguel V. Faustmann, runs from March 28 to April 13 and from April 25 to April 27, 2014 at Onstage, 2/F, Greenbelt 1, Paseo de Roxas corner Legazpi St., Makati City.

The idea for Noises Off came to Frayn while he was watching one of his other plays, The Two of Us, from the wings. Noting that it was “funnier from behind than in front,” he was inspired to create a one-act play called Exits, which he later expanded into what would become Noises Off.

Repertory Philippines has assembled a stellar cast for the current production, most of whom play actors playing roles in the fictitious play Nothing On.

Anne Curtis Smith and Her New Dyesebel Pictorial

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Amazing photos posted on Instagram by lensman Mark Nicdao wows social media with the new images of Anne Curts Smith posing as the Mars Ravelo mermaid character Dyesebel. Anne is seen lying on the seashore in between the waves and the rocky shores. Also on shore is an empty picture frame - could it mean something or just to add flair?

Some seashells and starfishes can be seen among the rocks. This photo has two versions with Anne having her eyes closed and another one with her smiling. I appreciate the first one more than the second version since it adds more mystery to the shot.

With the long orange mermaid fish tail, it somehow lengthens the height of Anne as if to appear taller with long legs, and also with a longer neck with her chin up.
