Present Laughter

August 22, September 5, September 7

Location: The Lark Theatre, 549 Magnolia Ave, Larkspur, CA
Timings: August 22 and September 5 at 7:30 PM, September 7 at 12:30 PM

Matthew Warchus directs Andrew Scott (Vanya, All of Us Strangers, Fleabag) in Noël Coward’s provocative comedy
Present Laughter.

As he prepares to embark on an overseas tour, star actor Garry Essendine’s 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 are a chaotic whirlwind of love, sex, panic and soul-searching.

Captured live from The Old Vic in London, Present Laughter is a giddy and surprisingly modern reflection on fame, desire and loneliness.

Fleabag

August 24, 29

Location: The Lark Theatre, 549 Magnolia Ave, Larkspur, CA
Timings: August 24 at 12:30 PM, August 29 at 7:30 PM

Written and performed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge
Directed by Vicky Jones

See the hilarious, award-winning, one-woman show that inspired the BBC’s hit TV series Fleabag, broadcast live to cinemas from London’s West End. The television series has just won 4 Emmy awards, includes Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series.

Fleabag, a rip-roaring look at some sort of woman living her sort of life, may seem oversexed, emotionally unfiltered and self-obsessed, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. With family and friendships under strain and a guinea pig café struggling to keep afloat, Fleabag suddenly finds herself with nothing to lose.
