Private Lives
By Noel Coward
Toby Schmitz stars in Noel Coward's fizzingly witty comedy of manners.
14 Nov – 17 Nov
The censors did their best to ban Private Lives when Coward wrote it in 1930, and it has been refusing to behave for more than 80 years now. Its wit is definitive, its plotting almost perfect, and its critique of modernity dazzling.
Amanda has just married Victor and gone on her honeymoon. Elyot has just married Sybil and gone on his honeymoon. To the same hotel. Elyot and Amanda are about to find out all over again why they got divorced in the first place.
An astute observer of human folly, Private Lives is Noël Coward at his sharpest. Belvoir's Artistic Director Ralph Myers turns his hand to directing with this wonderfully hilarious comedy.
Recommended for ages 15+
