| Again, comedy is so subjective. I doubt ''Noises Off'' was the very first farce about an amateur theater company. And I've seen others, like ''Footlight Frenzy.'' It's all in the execution. Give this ''Play'' a chance. Who couldn't use a good laugh or two? |

| "Play" isn't at all like "Noises Off," which has a structure; it builds. "Play" is one gag after another. I laughed at many of them, but by the end of the night I was weary of it. | |

| To me, Act III of ''Noises Off'' can be wearying. My favorite part is Act II. | |

| For me it's the reverse. I find Act Two remarkably unfunny for all its busyness, but Act Three, at least with the original Broadway cast, was funny till its last moments. But most people are with you. | |

| Well, Noises Off is not about an amateur theatrical company. But George Kelly's 1922 The Torch Bearers is. | |
