Richmond Theatre is set to host Noel Coward's sparkling comedy of errors, Present Laughter, on Tuesday 22 September 2026. This much-anticipated production features the talented Tracy-Ann Oberman in the leading role of Geri Essendine, a much-adored actor grappling with the relentless demands and flamboyant excesses that accompany theatrical stardom. Coward's inimitable blend of sharp wit and insightful observation is on full display as the play delves into the intoxicating allure and often comical consequences of celebrity life. Audiences can expect a delightful evening of mistaken identities, romantic entanglements, and razor-sharp dialogue that has cemented Present Laughter as a classic of the stage. The curtain rises at 6:30pm, promising an engaging performance. Tickets are available from a modest £15, offering excellent value for a night of sophisticated entertainment. This promises to be a highlight of the autumn season.

Present Laughter
🎤 Performer
Present Laughter is a comic play written by Noël Coward in 1939 but not produced until 1942 because the Second World War began while it was in rehearsal, and the British theatres closed. The title is drawn from a song in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night that urges carpe diem. The play has been frequently revived in Britain, the US and beyond.
