Private Lives

Our final production of the season is “gorgeous, dazzling and fantastically funny,” according to the New York Times. Elyot and Amanda, once married, meet by chance at a hotel where they are honeymooning with their new spouses. Despite their perpetually stormy relationship, sparks fly and they cannot resist their own feelings. They impulsively elope in the middle of the night, only to be caught days later by their jilted spouses in a most compromising situation. Filled with the kind of witty repartee that could only come from the pen of the mighty Noël Coward, this play has had numerous successful productions in Broadway and the West End, boasting stars ranging from Laurence Olivier, Richard Burton and Alan Rickman to Gertrude Lawrence, Maggie Smith and Kim Catrall. Don’t miss this stylish, savvy story about the people we can’t live with–or without.
