As part of the MultiCulture Britain series, the British Council and Multikino invite you to a rebroadcast of the play Present Laughter

The multi award-winning production of Noël Coward‘s provocative comedy featuring Andrew Scott (Vanya, Fleabag) returns to the big screen. 

As he prepares to embark on an overseas tour, star actor Garry Essendine’s colourful life is in danger of spiralling out of control. Plunged into a growing identity crisis, wracked by multiple complicated relationships with people who compete for his attention, Garry loses himself in a chaotic whirlwind of love, sex, panic and the search for meaning. 

The production, directed by Matthew Warchus, offers a humorous and surprisingly contemporary look at fame, desire, and loneliness.  
Filmed live during its sold-out run at The Old Vic in 2019.
