A frothy comedy about show business, Present Laughter is one of Noël Coward's most delicious creations, and the season finale for Pear Theatre. First produced in 1942 with Coward himself in the leading role, Present Laughter is replete with seductions, suspicions, adulteries, blackmail, and everyone doing whatever seems necessary to assure fame and fortune for themselves and their loved ones. Directed by Walter M. Mayes, this riotously funny tidbit will delight audiences.
