    A respectable family flees within the confines of their home, from a strange, unknown and terrifying Noise which pursues them as they move from floor to floor until they reach the attic. This darkly comic play is a deeply disturbing essay on the culture of fear. It exposes how easily a society becomes the prisoner of its own paranoia. This play, written in 1959, is even more relevant today with our society's deep seated fear of the unknown terror waiting to spring forth from any direction.
