Ian McGuirk presents

Noel Coward’s

Present Laughter

Directed by Mary Curtin

‘Present Laughter’ is one of Noel Coward’s four great comedies of manners, along with Hay Fever, Private Lives and Blithe Spirit. It presents a masterly, exaggerated picture not only of the playwright himself but of his whole household, his court, his admirers, his lifestyle and his era.

The plot 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. The character is a caricature of the author’s real-life persona, as Coward acknowledged.

The production is produced by Ian McGuirk, directed by Mary Curtin and features an all-star Cork cast: Shirley McCarthy, Ann Dorgan, Rebecca Allman, Ian McGuirk, Marie O Donovan, Oskar Smith, Jim O Mahony, Jean Van Sinderen-Law, and Kenneth Speight!
