Private Lives

One of Noel Coward’s most commercial and critical successes, Private Lives is a sophisticated comedy that has entertained audiences for over half a century. Elyot and Amanda, once married and now honeymooning with new spouses at the same hotel, meet by chance, re-ignite the old flame and impulsively elope. With his usual eccentric wit and comedic genius, Coward pokes fun at the pretentiousness of modern manners and social conventions and creates a well-crafted and hilarious look at the inner jealousies and passions of the characters’ private lives.
