A Bear Pit Theatre Company Production
Noel Coward’s comedy Present Laughter, directed by Vanessa Comer
Actor, charmer and diva, Garry Essendine is determined to disregard his advancing years by revelling in endless tantrums and casual affairs. About to depart for Africa, he finds himself besieged by a bevy of wouldbe seductresses, not to mention his long-suffering secretary, his estranged wife, and an obsessed young playwright. As he attempts to disentangle himself from their clutches and demands, the sparkling comedy escalates.
