Written in response to the Theatre Royal's rejection of his earlier plays, "The Author's Farce" was Fielding's first theatrical success.  The Little Theatre allowed Fielding the freedom to experiment, and to alter the traditional comedy genre.  The play ran during the early 1730s and was altered for its run starting 21 April 1730 and again in response to the Actor Rebellion of 1733.  Throughout its life, the play was coupled with several different plays, including "The Cheats of Scapin" and Fielding's "Tom Thumb".

Noises Off: Noises Off is a 1982 play by the English playwright Michael Frayn.

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.
