Wonderful Noel Coward play with excellent performances by all involved. And of course, Kevin Kline is exceptional. The set is clever. No skimping there. Lots and lots of humor throughout. As for Garry Essendine's (Kevin Kline) inability on numerous occasions to reach the hallway entrance without pausing at the mirror to satisfy himself that his appearance is up to par..... Well it's brilliant. And the frequency with which numerous attractive women seemed unable not to lose their latch keys well ......................... (sorry enough said until you see the play). As one of Coward's lines in Present Laughter goes in referring to a play that is part of the plot: "It might actually work in New York", Thanks to Kevin Kline and company, Present Laughter certainly does.

We had the opportunity to see the play on the 9th. Its a witty farce with some wonderful performances. Victor Garbers performance as Gary is worth the price of admission alone and when you add the other talented performers in the cast you have a wonderful chemistry. You need to listen closely since the snappy dialogue sends witty barbs of sarcasm,and innuendo flying like bullets and if you snooze you lose. Its a period piece that may be a lttle too sophisticated for a young audience. Bravo I am happy that we saw it and suggest that you catch it on its short run
