Our house has been planning to see Noel Coward's Present Laughter for a few days now. We read the plot synopsis, studied the names of the characters, found out where the name of the play came from (a song in Shakespeare's 12th Night) and learned a little about Noel Coward. The only thing that was left was to answer questions after the show -- for money, of course.
This was my second time seeing the show.
I was laughing at the same parts of the show again: Gary Essendine (Kelvin Kline) doing such funny moves with his body -- larger than life gestures, preening in a mirror each time he went to open the front door of his flat, and having a meltdown on an ottoman.
By the third act, and after two hours running straight, I could still feel Naomi's interest in the show as expressed in the shaking of her shoulders as she laughed at the jokes that were multiplying on one another.
A good time was had by all: Leo, Mary, Naomi, Xavier, Rhiannon and me.
