"Present Laughter"

Present Laughter

Noël Coward

Pear Theatre

Jenni Chapman, Barbara Heninger, Akex Draa, Charles Woodson Parker & John Stephen King

Pear Theatre presents in its intimate setting Noël Coward's Present Laughter that bursts at the seams with riotous comedy propelled by a stage full of memorably quirky characters who get themselves and each other into a myriad of messes through adulteries, seductions, threats of blackmail, star-worshipping, and a star’s ego that knows no bounds.  In doing so, the Pear proves once again that this is the small-sized theatre that can take on big-stage ventures with full aplomb and total success.
