About the Play Present Laughter
Present Laughter, written by the renowned multi-talented artist Noël Coward, is a beloved romantic comedy that has seen numerous revivals since its premiere in 1942. The play showcases Coward's wit and charm, deftly portraying the life of a successful playwright navigating the demands of love and fame. The play gained renewed acclaim with Kevin Kline winning his third Tony Award for his role in a 2017 production, and even had a cinematic release.
In 2019, Matthew Warchus’ version was highlighted as part of the
National Theatre Live, a project celebrating outstanding British theater, demonstrating that even decades after its initial performance,
Present Laughter remains relevant and engaging for audiences today.
