Noël Coward’s sharp and satirical comedy revolves around Garry Essendine, an ageing and egotistical stage star. Charismatic, spoiled and quick-witted, Garry finds himself entangled with a series of adoring admirers, his ex-wife and his controlling secretary, all while grappling with a looming tour of Africa. As his personal and professional lives spin out of control, Garry faces deeper questions about his identity, relationships, and the role he plays both on and off the stage.

EUTCo’s production, set in 1939, will balance the humour and farcical elements of Coward’s writing with emotional depth. With a focus on human relationships and their underlying challenges, this production aims to reveal a beautiful vulnerability beneath the comedic surface. Present Laughter is a witty, sharp and expertly crafted exploration of fame, self-discovery and the absurdities of life.

There are three evening performances of the show and a matinee show on Saturday 1st of February.
