<p>Warchus said:<em> “Originally titled Sweet Sorrow, Noel Coward’s most autobiographical work is a giddy and passionate observation of narcissism, hero worship and loneliness.</em></p>
<p><em>“Most of my favourite plays are comedies with added emotional dimensions and Present Laughter is a laugh-out-loud sex comedy with, I think, surprising depths.”</em></p>
<p>Warchus, who directed Scott in the 2014 LGBT historical comedy film Pride, added: <em>“I’m delighted to be working with Andrew Scott again, together with what promises to be a cast of outstanding comic actors.”</em></p>
<p>The play tells the story of a light comedy actor who must overcome his impending mid-life crisis as he heads overseas for a tour.</p>
<p>Scott, who recently returned to screens in the second series of BBC comedy Fleabag, will appear in Present Laughter from June 25, with previews from June 17.</p>
