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 ("present mirth hath present laughter"). The play has been frequently revived in Britain, the US and beyond.

  • Il divo Garry (titolo originale in inglese: Present Laughter) è una commedia di Noël Coward, andata in scena in prima assoluta a Blackpool nel 1942. Il titolo originale proviene da un verso de La dodicesima notte, "present mirth hath present laughter", e la commedia ha forti tratti autobiografici. Il protagonista è l'attore Garry Essendine, che si prepara a una lunga tournée teatrale in Africa. In mezzo a una serie di situazioni farsesche Garry ha a che fare con tutte le donne della sua vita, tra cui la giovane amante, la segretaria e l'ex moglie, mentre affronta una crisi di mezza età. Il ruolo principale di Garry, interpretato al debutto dallo stesso Coward, ha richiamato nel corso degli anni attori teatrali di primissimo livello, tra cui Clifton Webb, Nigel Patrick, Albert Finney, Donal (it)
