About the event
The award-winning production of Noël Coward’s Present Laughter returns to the big screen, starring Andrew Scott (Vanya, Fleabag) in a dazzling performance. As actor Garry Essendine prepares for an overseas tour, his life spirals into chaos amid an escalating identity crisis and a parade of demanding lovers and friends. Filmed live at The Old Vic during a sold-out 2019 run, this smart, stylish, and surprisingly moving comedy—directed by Matthew Warchus (Matilda the Musical)—is a sharp reflection on fame, vanity, and the loneliness that lingers beneath.
