Present Laughter
Locals Act V Theatre Company present Noel Coward’s great comedy about a famous actor negotiating a hectic personal and professional life.
Actor Garry Essendine is at the height of his career. He’s successful, witty, surrounded by adoring fans and about to take his latest hit abroad. He’s also in the middle of a turbulent mid-life crisis.
Holed up in his flat, he is assailed from all quarters: a young debutante wants to seduce him, a crazed playwright from Uckfield wants to worship him and his producer’s wife wants to… well, what exactly does she intend?
Under the mordant eye of his long-suffering secretary and the implacable gaze of his estranged but resolute wife, Garry struggles to keep all his plates spinning.
Feb 26-March 2, 7.30pm plus Sat 2.30pm, £11.
