Present Laughter by Noel Coward
5 men, 6 women
Author of: (a selection) Fallen Angels,Hay Fever,Private Lives, Blithe Spirit,Waiting in the Wings.
Garry Essendine is an actor - charming, egotistical and devastatingly attractive. The high drama of his off-stage life rivals anything he has ever done on stage.
Pursued by two determined women and an obsessed male fan, he needs more than a little help from his secretary and his ex-wife to stage-manage his personal affairs.
With his customary panache, Noel Coward celebrates the colourful personalities of the glittering theatrical world he knew so well.
Present Laughter was first presented on Broadway in 1946 with Noel Coward in the role of Essendine, and co-starring Eva Gabor.
