MARIN IJ (Barry Willis)
FOR ALL EVENTS (Joe Cillo)
STAGE AND CINEMA (Cari Lynn Pace)
TALKIN' BROADWAY (Patrick Thomas)
Present Laughter depicts a few days in the life of the successful and self-obsessed light comedy actor Garry Essendine as he prepares to travel for a touring commitment in Africa. Amid a series of events bordering on farce, Garry has to deal with women who want to seduce him, placate both his long-suffering secretary and his wife, cope with a crazed young playwright, and overcome his impending mid-life crisis (he has recently turned forty). The character is a caricature of the author's real-life persona, as Coward acknowledged.
