 (Todd Haimes, Artistic Director) is proud to present a new Broadway production of Noël Coward's comedy Present Laughter, starring Victor Garber as "Garry Essendine", directed by Nicholas Martin.

Present Laughter is currently playing at the American Airlines Theatre on Broadway (227 West 42nd Street). This is a limited engagement through March 21, 2010.

In Noël Coward's classic comedy, matinee idol Garry Essendine (Garber) sits at the center of his own universe. While Garry struggles to plan his upcoming trip to Africa, his elegant London flat is invaded by a love struck ingenue, an adulterous producer and a married seductress, not to mention Garry's estranged wife and a crazed young playwright. Just before Garry escapes, the full extent of his misdemeanors is discovered and all hell breaks loose.
