by Noel Coward

Join us in the black box this summer with a classic Noel Coward comedy. At the center of his own universe sits matinee idol Garry Essendine: suave, hedonistic and too old, says his wife, to be having numerous affairs. His line in harmless, infatuated debutantes is largely tolerated but playing closer to home is not. Just before he escapes on tour to Africa the full extent of his misdemeanors is discovered. And all hell breaks loose. Noel Coward’s Present Laughter premiered in the early years of the Second World War just as such privileged lives were threatened with fundamental social change. 

Produced through special arrangements with Concord Theatricals.

Present Laughter runs 2 hours and 30 minutes, including an intermission
