5th March – 16th April 2011 – Private Lives - Genesian Theatre
Private Lives is one of Noel Coward’s greatest works and is the perfect comedy for today. Written in 1930 at the height of his powers, Coward took just four days whilst convalescing in Kowloon to pen this classic tale of love’s impetuous folly. Originally Coward himself played Elyot whilst his old friend Gertrude Lawrence played his foe Amanda. The original production also included Lawrence Olivier as the new husband Victor. Elyot and Amanda, a recently divorced couple, find themselves in adjoining rooms on their honeymoon with their new partners. They find they cannot live without each other but maybe worse of all, they can’t live with each other. Will they sacrifice everything for love or will they remain faithful to their new vows and partners?
