Question: Which of the following is best known for the farce "Noises Off": Michael Frayn or David Malouf?
Context: Tunisia is a North African country with a predominantly Arabic-speaking population.  The country is best known for malouf, a kind of music imported from Andalusia after the Spanish immigration in the 15th century.  Though in its modern form, malouf is likely very dissimilar to any music played more than four centuries ago, it does have its roots in Spain and Portugal, and is closely related to genres with a similar history throughout North Africa, including malouf's Libyan cousin, Algerian gharnati and Moroccan "ala" or Andalusi.  During the Ottoman era, malouf was influenced by Turkish music.  However, Tunisian repertoires, styles and also instruments remain distinctive - the ʻūd tūnsī is an emblematic case.  This is a close relative of the 'uds associated with Algeria and also Morocco. Afterlife is a 2008 play by Michael Frayn.  It tells the life and career of Austrian theatrical director and actor Max Reinhardt, from the revival of the Salzburg Festival in 1920, which he helped to re-establish, until his death in New York in 1943.  It draws from Hugo von Hofmannsthal's 1911 play Jedermann (based on the sixteenth-century English morality play, Everyman), which Reinhardt directed at the Salzburg Festival for many years following its revival in 1920. Noises Off is a 1992 American comedy film directed by Peter Bogdanovich.  The screenplay by Marty Kaplan is based on the 1982 play of the same name by Michael Frayn.  Its ensemble cast includes Michael Caine, Carol Burnett, Christopher Reeve, John Ritter, Marilu Henner, Nicollette Sheridan, Julie Hagerty and Mark Linn-Baker.  Also featured is the final performance of Denholm Elliott, who died that same year. David George Joseph Malouf (born 20 March 1934) is an Australian writer.  He was awarded the Neustadt International Prize for Literature in 2000, his 1993 novel "Remembering Babylon" won the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award in 1996, he won the inaugural Australia-Asia Literary Award in 2008, and he was shortlisted for the Booker Prize.  In 2016, he received the Australia Council Award for Lifetime Achievement in Literature. Michael Frayn, FRSL ( ; born 8 September 1933) is an English playwright and novelist.  He is best known as the author of the farce "Noises Off" and the dramas "Copenhagen" and "Democracy".  His novels, such as "Towards the End of the Morning", "Headlong" and "Spies", have also been critical and commercial successes, making him one of the handful of writers in the English language to succeed in both drama and prose fiction.  He has also written philosophical works, such as "The Human Touch: Our Part in the Creation of the Universe" (2006). The Tin Men is a novel by Michael Frayn, published in 1965.  It won the Somerset Maugham Award the following year. Paul Denny (born 24 July 1972) is an Australian stage, television and film actor best known for such work as the lead in the international production of "Johnno" from the novel by David Malouf. Benefactors is a 1984 play by Michael Frayn.  It is set in the 1960s and concerns an idealistic architect David and his wife Jane and their relationship with the cynical Colin and his wife Sheila.  David is attempting to build some new homes to replace the slum housing of Basuto Road and is gradually forced by circumstances into building skyscrapers despite his initial aversion to these.  This is set against the backdrop of 1960s new housing projects.  Sheila becomes his secretary but it is unclear if she is helping him or the other way around.  As the title of the play suggests it is about helping people and explores some of the difficulties inherent in this or in being helped. 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. Skios is a 2012 comic novel by Michael Frayn.  The novel was published in May 2012 by Faber & Faber in the UK and by Metropolitan Books the following month in the US.  It centres on a group of individuals on the fictional Greek island of Skios.
