About This Quote

In Michael Frayn’s play, “Noises Off ,” the actor playing the title role has a nervous habit of misplacing his lines and making mistakes. The actor’s fellow actors all recognize this and make fun of him for it. When they finally give him his script, they fail to recognize that he is still struggling with his lines and continually misspell words. Frayn was poking fun at the actor’s inability to stay focused and deliver his lines correctly under pressure.
