Noel Coward wrote more that 60 plays in his lifetime including Blithe Spirit, Fallen Angels, The Vortex, Design for Living, Private Lives and of course Present Laughter.  His plays are still so popular and produced so frequently that it is said that at least one of his plays is performed every day of the years somewhere in the world.  Present Laughter is one of his most produced plays and continues to delight audiences more than 85 years after it was written.

Set in 1941, Present Laughter revolves around a famous theatre actor Garry Essendine as he prepares to go to Africa on a theatre tour.  However his life is thrown in to midlife crisis as he attempts to juggle his household staff, business partners, personal secretary, his estranged wife, a lovestruck debutante, an obsessed playwright and an affair that could ruin everything that he has worked for.  Full of rich characters, quick wit and theatrical antics Present Laughter is a perfect midsummer comedy.

Present Laughter will be directed by Patrick Atkinson, who previously co-directed 2024's Much Ado About Nothing.  The incredible cast of performers will be led by award winning actor Matt Cardigan-Smith as Garry Essendine.  The also features Amy Stringer as Liz Essendine, Shiv Harris as Monica Reed, Kelsey Bye as Joanna Lyppiatt, Will Spongberg as Morris Dixon, Kenneth Matis as Henry Lyppiatt, Marc Berman as Fred, Ella Vatvanni as Daphne Stillington, Max O Chang as Roland Maule, Yvette Niccolls as Miss Ericson and Marian Simpson as Lady Saltburn!  The production will also include set and costumes designed by Matt Cardigan-Smith.
