Private Lives was first produced
at the Phoenix Theatre, London, on September 24, 1930, starring Noel Coward,
Laurence Olivier and Gertrude Lawrence.
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 some days of being reunited, however, they again find
their fiery romance alternating between passions of love and anger. Into this
situation come their aggrieved spouses. There is a roundelay of affiliations
as the women first stick together, then apart, and as new partnerships are
formed. Eventually there is a knock-down-drag-out fight between the spouses
which opens the eyes of Elyot and Amanda, who then steal off a second time. A
unique play with three successful Broadway runs boasting as stars the author,
Laurence Olivier, Tallulah Bankhead, Gertrude Lawrence, Tammy Grimes, Richard
Burton and Elizabeth Taylor.
“Gorgeous, dazzling, fantastically funny.” – The New York
