Private Lives

Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey presents Noël Coward’s Private Lives, directed by Paul Mullins.

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.
