LOVE AND CHAOS COLLIDE IN NOËL COWARD’S TIMELESS COMEDY
Amanda and Elyot are charming, rich, utterly reckless - and divorced. When they meet unexpectedly on the first night of their honeymoons with new partners, in the balmy moonlight of the French Riviera, old flames re-ignite, and impulsive love takes hold. But they divorced for a reason, and their fiery romance soon spirals into a chaotic riot of passionate desire, slanging matches and outrageous battles.
Set against a backdrop of 1930s glamour, Noël Coward’s Private Lives is a sparkling comedy of manners - hilarious, stylish, and a rollercoaster of emotions, filled with razor-sharp wit, sizzling chemistry, and timeless sophistication.
