PRESENT LAUGHTER
BY Noel Coward
directed by Gordon Reinhart
November 13-15 & 19-22,
November 16 & 23, Stage II
In this most autobiographical of his plays, Noel Coward invites us into the life
of a 1930's English stage star to see the price his fame and fortune have
wrought! Friends, lovers. relatives, and theatre acolytes sparkle around
Garry Essendine like bubbles in a fine champagne. While Garry struggles to
plan his upcoming trip to Africa, his elegant London flat is invaded by a lovestruck ingenue, an adulterous producer, and a married seductress-along with
Garry's estranged wife Liz and the unforgettable Roland Maule, an aspiring and
overly passionate young playwright who is quite, quite mad. A classic
farce, Present Laughter offers us the unmatchable wit and enduring energy
of one of the theatre's most brilliant playwrights.
What is love? 'Tis not hereafter,
Present mirth hath present laughter
What's to come is still unsure.
In delay there lies no plenty,
Then come kiss me, sweet and twenty.
Youth's a stuff will not endure.
Feste in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night
