  2. Noël Coward’s PRESENT LAUGHTER


Noël Coward's PRESENT LAUGHTER follows the tumultuous life of stage matinee idol Gary Essendine as he prepares for an upcoming world tour. In the days leading up to his departure, Gary navigates an escalating identity crisis marked by chaotic relationships and hidden secrets that threaten to unravel his carefully curated celebrity existence. Amid love, panic, and introspection, this provocative comedy offers a timely exploration of fame and self-absorption. The production features a dynamic cast that brings Coward's sharp wit and insightful commentary to life.
