Event Details

Free Theatre Night: “Present Laughter” Witty WWII Comedy | SF

Theatre Rhinoceros invites you to party with the master of wit Noël Coward. Present Laughter is one of Coward’s most personal and wittiest comedies.

This semi-autobiographical comedy follows a self-obsessed actor’s mid-life crisis as he freely indulges his considerable appetite for wine, women and sleeping late. At the center of his own universe sits matinee idol Garry Essendine: suave, hedonistic and too old—says his wife—to be having numerous affairs. Just before he escapes on tour to Africa, the full extent of his misdemeanors is discovered. And all hell breaks loose. Present Laughter premiered in 1942 during the Second World War just as the upper classes were threatened with fundamental social change.

FUNCHEAP INSIDER DEAL: Theatre Rhino is offering 40 free tickets per show to Funcheapers for every show in this production from May 21 – June 18, 2016 now through July 2, 2016.
