The Moat Club presents another sparkling comedy for the summer slot. Present Laughter is a brilliant comedy of manners, oozing with charm, panache and verbal wizardry.

Gary Essendine, a self-obsessed actor at the height of his powers and fame, is advancing, with reluctance, into middle age. He is the object of many infatuations – from young society girls to obsessive writers – and is at once addicted to the adulation he attracts and weary of it. “Everybody worships me, it’s nauseating!” cries our histrionic hero. As he prepares for a theatrical tour of Africa, his personal and professional success is threatened when his extra-marital affairs stray too close to home.
