Present Laughter tells the story of a few days in the life of Garry Essendine, a self-infatuated matinee idol slipping into middle age. The intertwining relationships between the characters — including his wife, girlfriend, secretary, manager, a young playwright who worships him, and others — have entertained audiences since Coward wrote the play in 1939. Critics consider the play “a timeless, imperishable comedy” that is “wittily impudent and neatly invented.”
Baer Theater at Morgan Park Academy is at 2153 W. 111th Street, Chicago, Chicago, IL.
