Laguna Playhouse Presents PRIVATE LIVES 3/15-4/10
By: Kelsey Denette
The Laguna Playhouse is pleased to present Noël Coward's celebrated comedy, Private Lives, March 15 - April 10, 2011. The play is directed by Andrew Barnicle. Casting will be announced soon.
Passion, anger, love, laughter and romance are all shaped by Noël Coward's wit and comic genius in Private Lives, which follows the sage of perpetually dueling lovers Amanda and Elyot, two divorcees who unwittingly book adjoining rooms while honeymooning with their new spouses. They soon realize the folly of their new marriages and impulsively flee together to Paris, only to be caught days later by their jilted spouses while in a most uncompromising situation. This stylish, savvy and still-timely comedy is loaded with pointed barbs about modern romance and the people we can't live with-or without.Written in 1930, the original London production of Private Lives starred Noël Coward, Gertrude Lawrence, Adrianne Allen and Laurence Olivier. A Broadway production followed in 1931. The play has been revived six times on Broadway (including a memorable 1983 production that starred Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton), and has been produced in theaters throughout the world.Tickets are $30 to $65.
