Andrew Scott Will Lead PRESENT LAUGHTER At The Old Vic

The Old Vic today announces that Matthew Warchus will direct Andrew Scott in Noel Coward's provocative comedy, Present Laughter, opening on 25 June, with previews from 17 June.

The cast also includes Luke Thallon, Sophie Thompson, Suzie Toase and Indira Varma.

Director, Matthew Warchus, said: 'Originally titled Sweet Sorrow, Noel Coward's most autobiographical work is a giddy and passionate observation of narcissism, hero worship and loneliness. Most of my favourite plays are comedies with added emotional dimensions and Present Laughter is a laugh-out-loud sex comedy with, I think, surprising depths. I'm delighted to be working with Andrew Scott again (after collaborating on the film Pride), together with what promises to be a cast of outstanding comic actors.'

Suitable for ages 11+.
