Being cast in Noises Off was a happy coincidence for me because I had previously played the role of Tim in a high school production.  Now that I was playing Freddy, I had much different lines and blocking to memorize.  I appreciated the director's choice to stay faithful to the British setting and accent.  The play was written as a British farce, and we put a lot of emphasis on the farcical elements.  That meant a lot of word-play, reoccurring jokes, slapstick (which was quite fun), and character-driven comedy.  Every prop, every entrance, every sardine had to be meticulously placed and tracked to make the comedy work, and I think it made for a great show.
