Private Lives

Written and first produced in 1930, the play concerns Elyot Chase, who is happily enjoying his honeymoon on the French Riviera when he discovers his ex-wife Amanda settling into her honeymoon suite right next door. This deliciously witty expose of "private lives" follows these two couples from the shores of the Riviera to a chic Parisian pied-à-terre where the marital fireworks explode in a riotous display of verbal and physical comedy.
