If you are able to make it to a screening of 'Present Laughter', do not hesitate or be put off by the runtime. This is the kind of classic comedy we don't get to see in Australia - executed at the highest quality and without compromise, sexy and immediate and hysterical. I'm sure that if I'd been sitting in the audience of the Old Vic itself, seeing this remarkable production live, I wouldn't have come out alive. This is one of those moments you have to be thankful for initiatives like National Theatre Live, preserving this great night of the theatre and bringing it to audiences all over the world. - Daniel Lammin Read Daniel's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-nt-live-present-laughter-andrew-scott-astounds-in-this-thrilling-noel-coward-classic
