Present
Laughter

Dressing gowns, love affairs and witty repartee – glittering stage star Garry Essendine’s life is full of them all. He’s also got more visitors – and more admirers – than he knows what to do with. How can he stop a smitten ingénue, an intense young playwright and a married seductress, from declaring their admiration? And as his not-quite-ex-wife reminds him, he’s getting a bit old for all of these romantic games. Can he escape from his fans in time? And does he want to?

Noël Coward’s affectionate take on his own life as a celebrity brilliantly forecast our current endless fascination with “success”
– from an era when it all looked a lot more fun! —Jackie Maxwell
