Present Laughter - In cinemas now | 'Everybody's against me!' | National Theatre Live

--
As he prepares to embark on an overseas tour, star actor Garry Essendine’s colourful life is in danger of spiralling out of control. Engulfed by an escalating identity crisis as his many and various relationships compete for his attention, Garry’s few remaining days at home are a chaotic whirlwind of love, sex, panic and soul-searching.

Captured live from The Old Vic in London, Matthew Warchus directs Present Laughter in a giddy and surprisingly modern reflection on fame, desire and loneliness.

just imagine for one second being as talented as andrew scott

[lizzyvanvleuten]

I really hope National theatre will release this one for National Theatre at Home

everyone's saying that he's overacting but they forget that he is acting on a stage in front of a live audience, not for the camera. he has to project so that the last person in the last row can see and hear him. besides, this is a farce so it's meant to be a bit exaggerated. I think his performances are great, tbh. he's a fine actor, indeed. very versatile.

I cannot recommend this show enough. We laughed all the way through. The cast were AMAZING! Andrew Scott will forever be my favourite actor 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[mygoodfriendjane]

He’s visibly having so much fun with it. Seeing his energy and how seemingly easy it is is so inspiring. Love you Andrew

[fatcat]

Oh, PLEASE add this to the list of productions you will be streaming over the following weeks!!

[jakegreen]

So lucky uk has all these big actors doing shows randomly

We do not have that in Canada

it's been like 5 years and I still use "she lost her latchkey" and "i wouldnt go to WIMBLEDON with barrell willard" to this day

Hands down one of my favorite actors. Andrew Scott is extraordinary.

[davidbonfiglio]

He plumbed the depth of every line, every word. I will never think of a Coward play the same way again.

I went to watch this with my best friend after we went to watch A midsummer night’s dream with Gwendoline Christie and saw the trailer. It’s amazing. Both were amazing. You can relate so much with the different characters.
