Noises Off is a 1982 play by the English playwright Michael Frayn.
 The idea for it came in 1970, when Frayn was watching from the wings a performance of "The Two of Us", a farce that he had written for Lynn Redgrave.
 He said, "It was funnier from behind than in front, and I thought that one day I must write a farce from behind."
 The prototype, a short-lived one-act play called "Exits", was written and performed in 1977.
 At the request of his associate, Michael Codron, Frayn expanded this into what would become "Noises Off".
 It takes its title from the theatrical stage direction indicating sounds coming from offstage.
The Golden Outfield, also called the Million Dollar Outfield, were the three starting outfielders of the Major League Baseball Boston Red Sox from 1910 through 1915, considered one of the greatest outfields of all time.
 The three members of the Golden Outfield were left fielder Duffy Lewis, center fielder Tris Speaker and right fielder Harry Hooper.
 The three helped the Red Sox win two World Series titles, in 1912 and 1915.
 Two members of the Golden Outfield, Speaker and Hooper, are enshrined in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
 All three were effective hitters, but were especially known for their fielding skill.
 Baseball writer Grantland Rice said that they were "the greatest defensive outfield I ever saw...They were smart and fast.
 They covered every square inch of the park – and they were like three fine infielders on ground balls.
 They could move into another country, if the ball happened to fall there."
 Speaker, Hooper, and Lewis all had powerful throwing arms, as well.
 Both Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth said that it was the best outfield that they had ever seen.
