The multi award-winning production of Noël Coward’s provocative comedy featuring Andrew Scott (VanyaFleabag) returns to the big screen.  Winner of two 2020 Olivier Awards including Best Actor for Scott!

As he prepares to embark on an overseas tour, star actor Garry Essendine’s colorful life is in danger of spiraling 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.

Filmed live at The Old Vic in London during a sold out run in 2019, Matthew Warchus directs this giddy and surprisingly modern reflection on fame, desire and loneliness.

★★★★★ “Illuminating and luminously funny” — WhatsOnStage

★★★★★ “Andrew Scott’s revelatory performance shows why Noël Coward is hailed a genius” — (London) Telegraph
