A Landmark Theatres Artist Development Production

“A Noise Annoys” is a poetry show for all the senses! It features rhymes, noises, songs, surprises and lots of audience interaction suitable for the whole family. Bursting with joyful humour and witty wordplay, Jude takes the audience on a mind-bending journey through the sounds of language and the language of sounds. There is lots of joy, a healthy dose of nonsense, and a few heartfelt moments of beautiful hush. “A Noise Annoys” started its development at Cambridge Junction Theatre, where audiences described it as “witty, engaging, fun, imaginatively clever.” Jude looks forward to developing the show to its full potential, ready for touring from Spring 2025.
