Present Laughter
written by Noel Coward
directed by David Blakey
14 to 23 March 2013 at 8pm
A renowned actor who performs continuously – whether on or off the stage – runs into problems with an aspiring actress, an obsessive writer and the attentions of the partner of one of his friends. These come on top of his dawning discovery that he is still in love with his own partner, from whom he is separated. And, to crown it all, he's about to go on tour in New Zealand. Noel Coward’s play is brought spectacularly into the twenty-first century with a state-of-the-art story of marriage and morality.
