Present Laughter, an audacious
com edy dealing w ith a m a n ’s co m ­
plicated m id-life crisis, opens this
w eek in the M ago H unt T heater on
the U niversity o f Portland cam pus,

Perhaps N oel C ow ard's m ost au ­
tobiographical play, Present L augh­
ter has been revived frequently both
in N ew Y ork and London.
G arry Essendine, a popular and
pam pered actor, is busily m aking
preparations for an extended over­
seas tour to Africa with devoted sec­
retary, M onica. H ow ever, Garry, bat­
tling a m idlife crisis, finds his plans
are com plicated first by D aphne, a
beautiful stage- struck ingénue, then
by a fatuously ardent aspiring play­
w right, R oland M aule. W ith the ad­
dition o f a good friend's seductive
w ife, Joanne, the classic C ow ard
vamp, Garry's life becomes more com ­
plicated than even he w ould wish.
O nly his devoted wife, Liz, can help
rescue him from h im self and others.
