Private Lives

Private Lives is one of the most passionate, fiery, silly, flippant plays ever written. Elyot and Amanda, once married and now honeymooning with new spouses at the same hotel, meet by chance, reignite the old spark and impulsively elope, abandoning their new spouses Victor and Sibyl to the wind. After mere days of being reunited, Elyot and Amanda again find their fiery romance alternating between passions of love and anger. Their aggrieved spouses appear and a roundelay of affiliations ensues as the women first stick together, then apart, and new partnerships are formed. Eventually there is a knock down drag out fight (literally!) which opens the eyes of Elyot and Amanda.
