Present Laughter
Written by Noël Coward
Directed by Karen Vickery
Presented by ACT Hub
I don’t give a hoot about posterity. Why should I worry about what people think of me when I’m dead as a doornail anyway?
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.
