Revived in 2002 by the Royal National Theatre in a production
that sparkled on Broadway, Private Lives is one of the most
sophisticated, entertaining plays ever written. Elyot and Amanda,
once married and now honeymooning with new spouses at the same
hotel, meet by chance, reignite the old spark and impulsively
elope. After days of being reunited, they again find their fiery
romance alternating between passions of love and anger. Their
aggrieved spouses appear and a roundelay of affiliations ensues as
the women first stick together, then apart, and new partnerships
are formed. A uniquely humorous play boasting numerous successful
Broadway runs boasting such as stars Coward himself, Laurence
Olivier, Tallulah Bankhead, Gertrude Lawrence, Tammy Grimes,
Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor.
