Southside Players presents: Present Laughter by Noel Coward Step into the dazzling, deliciously chaotic world of Nol Cowards Present Laughter a sparkling comedy that proves fame is fabulous until it isnt. In this irresistible romp, we meet Garry Essendine, a magnetic, wildly successful actor whose life is a whirlwind of adoring fans, romantic entanglements, and theatrical excess. Onstage hes untouchable; offstage hes unavoidably surrounded by admirers, by opportunists, by colleagues who want something from him, and by friends who know him a little too well. When his meticulously curated glamour begins to clash with the relentless demands of his entourage, his carefully preserved poise threatens to crack. What follows is a cascade of hilarity, farce, and delicious emotional truth. Total running Time (Estimate):2 including a 15 minute interval Advisories Fake cigarette smoke. The show will start promptly, please allow plenty of time to get to the theatre. Ticket Prices: Standard 16.00 Concession 14.00
