Private Lives
September 4 - 20
Champagne. Moonlight. Sparks flying. Bad decisions.
In Private Lives, the inimitable Noël Coward serves up one of the wittiest and most intoxicating comedies ever written.
When divorced couple Elyot and Amanda accidentally find themselves honeymooning with their new spouses in adjacent rooms, old sparks reignite—and what follows is a dazzling, combustible game of love, wit, and reckless abandon.
Stylish, sophisticated, and scandalously funny, Private Lives is a high-speed battle of hearts and egos, packed with razor-sharp dialogue and the kind of verbal sparring that only Coward can deliver.
Beneath the martinis and laughter lies something more dangerous: two people who may be terrible for each other… and utterly irresistible.
Directed by Schoolhouse Theater Artistic Director Owen Thompson—recipient of three consecutive BroadwayWorld Awards for Best Director—this production leans into the play’s glamour, danger, and delicious theatricality.
Smart, sexy, and wildly entertaining, Private Lives is the perfect night out at the theater.
