A sophisticated and entertaining play, Private Lives tells the story of Elyot and Amanda, a couple once married and now honeymooning with new spouses at the same hotel. They meet by chance, reignite the old flame, and impulsively elope. Just days after being reunited, their mercurial romance alternates between passionate love and fiery anger. Sparks fly, and hilarity ensues.

One of Cowards most popular, the play has been a hit since its debut. Here is Cowards own description of the critical reception: tenuous, thin, brittle, gossamer, iridescent, and delightfully daring. All of which connoted to the public mind cocktails, repartee and irreverent allusions to copulation, thereby causing a gratifying number of respectable people to queue up at the box office. Well leave it at that! Directed by Ken Rowland.
