A revolving door of doting fans, a looming tour in Africa, and the crushing threat of being middle-aged in the entertainment industry are just the beginning of the hilarious spiral of life that threatens to spin out of control for actor Garry Essendine. This farcical play with Noël Coward’s classic wit is a whirlwind of love, sex, anxiety, and a dose of soul-searching.

 

This classic comedy is a wildly amusing ride from start to finish with a mix of heart and empathy along the way. Well-suited for the AU mainstage and a complementary offering to 1984, FWCT adds this title to our season as a pick-me-up against the gray of winter in February.
