Often called 'the funniest farce ever written', Noises Off presents a manic menagerie of itinerant inept actors rehearsing a flop called 'Nothing On'. On and off stage rivalries abound, doors slamming, props going missing, doors sticking, egos and pride getting bruised, with chaos waiting in the wings at every turn, plus the odd sardine or two...... All this comes together in a high paced, slick and hilariously comical play.
The story is told in three acts, and plays itself out in a 'play-within-a-play', commencing only hours before the opening of their production, and the touring company is hurriedly running through the dress rehearsal in The Grand Theatre, Weston-Super-Mare, before the audience arrives. Act 2 moves forward in time by several weeks. Entrances and exits being made...... or not, arguments, alcohol, stress and sustained agitation contribute to disaster waiting around the corner. Finally, we reach sublime deterioration in Act 3, scenery collapses, props explode and our cast has become feral.
Please note, as Noises Off is such a fast paced, frenetic foray into the absurd and improbable, and added that some actors will be required to play two characters (one off stage and one on stage), the auditions will be presented in a group format, employing set fictitious situations and scenarios to act out. This will aid the casting process.

this is Matt Bentley, your local & loyal computer support technician. I've recently renamed my business from 'Waikato Home PC Support' to 'Bentley Home PC Support', in part because it's my name, and in part because the name carries connotations of esteem, riches, money, fame etc. None of which I actually have of course, but, it's always nice if people think I do ;)
Some of you may have noticed that Windows 7 is expiring in January 2020; what that means is that it will no longer receive security patches from Microsoft, which means it will be unsafe to use on the internet. I have set up a package deal where I will upgrade your Windows 7 computer to Windows 10 for $150. This includes:
(a) Checking the health of your hard drive.(b) Making a backup of the hard drive in case something goes wrong (I will keep this backup for 2 weeks just in case).
(c) Upgrading your computer to Windows 10 and installing the latest updates.
(d) Cleaning it up and disabling the Windows 10 'telemetry' (spyware).
(e) Changing settings so that it acts a bit more like Windows 7 and is more familiar.
This is mainly a drop-off service, though I can pick up depending on where you are. Please note that if you are running Windows 8, there is no need to upgrade immediately (though you can if you want to) - Windows 8 expires in 2023.
If you are running Windows Vista or Windows XP, you definitely shouldn't be using those on the internet (they expired ages ago) and should probably get a new computer. I'm happy to help with that, including selecting a new computer and transferring your data/programs to it.
So if you want to take advantage of the offer, please get in touch.
Cheers,
Matt

Ministry of Transport data for 2016, the most recent available on its website, makes for sobering reading – 328 deaths from 286 fatal road crashes, or 0.9 deaths for every 10,000 vehicles.
