Details

Loosely based on his own experience, Present Laughter is the perfect vehicle for Noel Coward’s legendary wit and larger-than-life persona. Actor Garry Essendine - played to the loife by ANDREW SCOTT (Vanya, Fleabag, All of us Strangers) is the star of the London theatrical scene at the height of his fame and adored by legions of admirers.  Fans regularly throw themselves at Garry’s feet, drawn in by his charm and charisma, throwing his household into chaos. In the week before Garry is set to embark on an African tour, he is forced to juggle a besotted young woman with stars in her eyes, an unhinged young playwright obsessed with being in Garry’s presence, his best friend’s wife who is determined to seduce him, his manager, his producer, his secretary, his estranged ex-wife, and an impending mid-life crisis as his 40th birthday looms ever closer.

Shot live at the Old Vic, this production is brought to us by National Theatre Live and is exclusive to cinemas.
