DESCRIPTION:

NOËL COWARD’S “PRESENT LAUGHTER” 

[Trailer: https://youtu.be/UPgonH9hvwM] 

The multi award-winning production of Noël Coward’s provocative comedy featuring Andrew Scott (Vanya, All of Us Strangers, Fleabag). 

As he prepares to embark on an overseas tour, star actor Garry Essendine’s colourful life is in danger of spiralling out of control. Engulfed by an escalating identity crisis as his many and various relationships compete for his attention, Garry’s few remaining days at home are a chaotic whirlwind of love, sex, panic and soul-searching.  

Captured live from The Old Vic in London, Present Laughter is a surprisingly modern reflection on fame, desire and loneliness. Directed by Matthew Warchus (Matilda The Musical).

SUZIE MILLER’S “INTER ALIA”

[Trailer: https://youtu.be/6zFx9G3AFtE ]

A searing new play from the team behind Prima Facie.

Jessica Parks is smart, compassionate, a true maverick at the top of her career as an eminent London Crown Court Judge. At work she’s changing and challenging the system one case at a time. But behind the robe, Jessica is a karaoke fiend, a loving wife and a supportive parent.

While managing the impossible juggling act faced by every working mother, an event threatens to throw her life completely off balance. Can she hold her family upright?

Rosamund Pike (Saltburn) makes her National Theatre debut as Jessica. Writer Suzie Miller and director Justin Martin reunite following their global phenomenon Prima Facie with this searing examination of modern masculinity and motherhood.
