The Daily Mail has reported that actor Andrew Scott (Sherlock) will star in a production of Noel Coward's Present Laughter at The Old Vic Theatre this June.
The production will be directed by Olivier Award-winning director Matthew Warchus. Official dates to be announced.
In Present Laughter, actor Garry Essendine is at the height of his fame. He's handsome, witty, surrounded by adoring fans, and about to take his latest theatrical hit overseas. He's also in the middle of a raging mid-life crisis.
Holed up in his studio, he is assailed from all quarters: a beautiful debutante wants to bed him, an aspiring playwright from Uckfield wants to worship him, and his own producer's wife wants to... well, what exactly does she want? Under the sardonic eye of his long-suffering secretary, Monica, and the unshockable gaze of his estranged but determined wife, Garry struggles to keep all the balls in the air.
