Rivercity Players (Campbell River) presents Present Laughter (Noel Coward) a comedy/farce directed by Tim Myerscough for the 2020 North Island Zone Festival.
Star actor Gary Essendine is preparing for an overseas tour, but his colourful life is on the verge of spinning out of control. His various relationships and their ever-increasing competition for his time, talent and attention is escalating the identity crisis he finds himself engulfed in. Gary’s chaotic last few days are filled with unrequited love, a little soul searching and pure panic.
“Present Laughter is a whirlwind, blending both the absurdity Coward discovered in his newfound celebrity and the fear of who he might become were he to give in to its temptations” -Moritz von Stuelpnagel March 2017
Warning: Mild Adult Themes
Tickets: $22.50 Admission (+applicable taxes & fees)
