Sedona Film Festival hosts big-screen debut of new production at Fisher Theatre
Sedona AZ (December 2, 2019) – The National Theatre of London continues its season with its acclaimed new production of Noël Coward’s “Present Laughter” showing in Sedona on Sunday, Dec. 8 at 3 p.m. The Sedona International Film Festival hosts the big screen premiere at its Mary D. Fisher Theatre.
Matthew Warchus directs Andrew Scott (BBC’s Sherlock, Fleabag) in Noël Coward’s provocative comedy “Present Laughter”.
As he prepares to embark on an overseas tour, star actor Garry Essendine’s colorful life is in danger of spiraling 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, “Present Laughter” is a giddy and surprisingly modern reflection on fame, desire and loneliness.
