"Present Laughter" presented by NTL
This multi-award-winning stage production of Noël Coward's provocative comedy featuring Andrew Scott (theater's "Vanya," ALL OF US STRANGERS, TV's FLEABAG) returns to the big screen. While Scott's character, star actor Garry Essendine, prepares to embark on an overseas tour, he finds his colorful life in danger of spiraling out of control. Engulfed by an escalating identity crisis as his many and various relationships compete for his attention, Garry spends his few remaining days at home in a chaotic whirlwind of love, sex, panic and soul-searching. Filmed live from The Old Vic in London during a sold-out run in 2019, this revival directed by Matthew Warchus ("Matilda: The Musical") is a giddy, surprisingly modern reflection on fame, desire and loneliness.
