1930. Deauville, France. Two newly-married couples occupy
adjoining honeymoon suites in the same hotel. As a distant orchestra plays,
Sibyl gazes adoringly at charismatic husband Elyot, while Victor admires his
new wife, the vivacious and sophisticated Amanda.

Champagne
flows and the sea shimmers in the moonlight as the newlyweds prepare for the
evening ahead. But when Amanda overhears a familiar voice singing a forgotten
song, an old spark reignites, with spectacular consequences.
Full of
razor-sharp wit and quick-fire dialogue, Private
Lives is Noël Coward’s most popular and enduring stage comedy.
Extraordinarily written in only three days, Private
Lives opened at London’s Phoenix Theatre in August 1930 to
packed houses. Since then, this charming comedy of manners has retained its
remarkable appeal, captivating audiences all over the world.
