Present Laughter by Noel Coward

The play revolves around a few days in the life of a successful and self-obsessed light comedy actor as he prepares to embark on a touring commitment in Africa. Amid a series of farcical incidents, he has to deal with a series of intrusions, including the adoration of young fans, the constant presence of his ex-lovers, and the more serious overtures of a playwright who idolizes him. His attempts to disentangle himself from these personal complications provide a comedic exploration of fame, vanity, and the chaos of celebrity life.
