Play review - "Present Laughter" by Noel Coward (1939)

 I'd never read this play before. It's very fun. About a very handsome popular actor who has women throwing themselves at him - his ex, another one, a deb. There's also a narky maid and a playwright. Everyone's very theatrical and selfish. I wonder why this was never turned into a film. You can see why stars would want to play it. It's meant to be based on Coward himself but could easily be about say Rex Harrison.
