Programme Addition – Present Laughter

We are delighted to announce that we will be screening the multi award-winning production of Noël Coward’s provocative comedy Present Laughter featuring Andrew Scott on Thursday 18 July, 7.00pm.

This new addition to Number 8’s summer line-up is part of the National Theatre Live season. Filmed live at The Old Vic in London during a sold out run in 2019, this giddy and surprisingly modern reflection on fame, desire and loneliness is directed by Matthew Warchus (Matilda The Musical). Andrew Scott plays star actor Garry Essendine’s whose 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 before embarking on tour are a chaotic whirlwind of love, sex, panic and soul-searching.

Tickets priced at £16, Seniors £15, Students £10, 16 & under £10  are on sale now via Number 8 Box Office on 01386 555488 or can be booked online here (additional £1.20 per ticket fee if booked online).
