"An honest, even profound reflection on the price of fame, with some genuine sexual frisson and an undercurrent of pathos." – The Hollywood Reporter At the centre of his own universe sits matinee idol Garry Essendine: suave, hedonistic and too old, says his wife, to be having numerous affairs – his line of harmless, infatuated debutantes is largely tolerated but playing closer to home is not. Just before he escapes on tour to Africa the full extent of his misdemeanours is discovered… and all hell breaks loose.No l Coward’s Present Laughter premiered in the early years of the Second World War just as such privileged lives were threatened with fundamental social change, and remains one of the playwright’s most enduring hits.This new edition is published in Methuen Drama’s iconic Modern Classics series to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Coward’s death and features a new introduction by Russell Jackson.
