    This semi-autobiographical, madcap farce is one of Noel Coward's finest and funniest comedies. Stylishly attired and devastatingly charismatic, Garry Essendine is a famous, self-dramatizing actor who never met a mirror he didn't like. He teeters reluctantly towards middle age, while everyone who encounters him is completely infatuated with him. As Garry says, 'Everybody worships me, it's nauseating.' The stage is set for a battle of glittering egos as Essendine - the master of razor sharp repartee, ruthless put-downs, and spectacular tantrums -takes on an admiring young playwright, his tart-tongued secretary, his business partners, an hilariously acerbic ex-wife, and an hours-old tryst! For ZACH's production, a live performance of Coward's cabaret songs by Austin's deliciously droll diva Karen Kuykendall will precede each act of the play! Credits: By Noel Coward, Directed by Dave Steakley
