For Present Laughter

Present Laughter
by Noël Coward

Matthew Warchus directs Andrew Scott (BBC’s Sherlock, Fleabag) in Noël Coward’s provocative comedy Present Laughter.

★★★★★ Andrew Scott’s revelatory performance shows why Noël Coward is hailed a genius.”Telegraph

★★★★★ “Illuminating and luminously funny.”WhatsOnStage

★★★★★ “Andrew Scott is wondrous in this revelatory refresh of Noël Coward’s classic comedy.” Time Out

As he prepares to embark on an overseas tour, star actor Garry Essendine’s colourful life is in danger of spiralling out of control. Engulfed by an escalating identity crisis as his many and various relationships compete for his attention, Garry’s few remaining days at home are a chaotic whirlwind of love, sex, panic and soul-searching.

★★★★★”A treat of a production: a timely depiction of the hollow nature of fame.”Financial Times

Captured live from The Old Vic in London, Present Laughter is a giddy and surprisingly modern reflection on fame, desire and loneliness.

This NTLIVE event is a  live recording of a performance in front of an audience- it is not a live broadcast
