1989
France in 1348, ravaged by the plague, is the setting for this lively and impassioned comedy
written by Peter Barnes in 1976. Red Noses tells the story of Father Flote and his merry band of Red
Noses who are tasked with bringing laughter and joy back to the people who are fighting the immense
despair of the black death. Directed at ACT in 1989 by former artistic director Jeff Steitzer, the
production was a hit and featured many ACT veterans including young actor, Kurt Beattie.
