Summer Theatre: Classic Comedy - Private Lives by Noël Coward

In Private Lives, passion, laughter, romance, anger, and love set the stage for an epic battle of the sexes as divorced couple, Amanda and Elyot, find themselves unwittingly thrown together in Coward’s classic comedy of manners. Unknowingly booking adjoining rooms while on honeymoon with their respective new spouses, Amanda and Elyot are forced to face their true feelings. With haste, and under the cover of darkness, they flee their honeymoon hotel for Amanda’s secluded Paris flat. Their reconvened Private Life is heaven – until all hell breaks loose! Fast-paced, witty, and passionate, Noel Coward’s most famous and successful classic comedy is also, still, a delightful, contemporary romp.
