Description Garry Essendine is famous and fabulous, but is he happy? As he prepares for an overseas tour, Garry's life spirals into chaos as lovers and fans swoop in on him in rapid succession. The night before he sails to Africa, all hell breaks loose in a whirlwind of sex, panic and soul-searching. Noel Coward's giddy 1930s comedy is a surprisingly modern reflection on fame, desire and loneliness.
