Present Laughter

Noel Coward’s totally-irresistible and semi-autobiographical comedy follows a self-obsessed actor in the midst of a mid-life crisis. Freely indulging his considerable appetite for wine, women and sleeping late, the theatre’s favorite leading man suddenly finds himself caught between fawning ingénues, crazed playwrights, secret trysts and unexpected twists. von Stuelpnagel’s production starred Kristine Nielsen, Cobie Smulders, Kate Burton and Kevin Kline in a Tony Award winning performance.
