Private Lives

Gielgud Theatre, London, W1V 8AR

  • Noël Coward's classic screwball comedy PRIVATE LIVES transfers to the West End!
    Elyot (Toby Stephens) and Amanda (Anna Chancellor) are glamorous, rich, reckless . . .  and divorced. Five years later, their love for one another is unexpectedly rekindled when they take adjoining suites of a Riviera hotel while honeymooning with their new spouses, Victor (Anthony Calf) and Sibyl (Anna-Louise Plowman). This chance encounter instantly reignites their passion, and they fling themselves headlong into a whirlwind of love and lust once more, without a thought for partners present or turbulences past.
    Following a sell-out run at Chichester Festival Theatre, this much-anticipated transfer is set to blaze across the West End stage this summer in an explosive production that proves Noël Coward still has the power to thrill, provoke and delight.
    Playing a strictly limited season from 22 June until 21 September at London's Gielgud Theatre, book your PRIVATE LIVES tickets today!
