A razor-sharp comedy of manners, Private Lives crackles with Coward’s signature wit and elegance. When ex-spouses Elyot and Amanda find themselves honeymooning with their new partners in the same French Riviera hotel, sparks ignite, insults fly, and old passions resurface. Sophisticated, fast-paced, and deliciously irreverent, this timeless play delights in turning love, rivalry, and social convention on their heads.

The production stars Ashley Blanchet (Broadway: Waitress, Frozen, Beautiful: The Carole King Musical) as Amanda Prynne and Britt Michael Gordon as Elyot Chase, with Clark Carmichael, Fiona Robberson, and Nicole Lawrie rounding out the cast. Private Lives runs May 16 through June 7, 2026 at the F.M. Kirby Shakespeare Theatre on the campus of Drew University in Madison, NJ.
