Private Lives by Noel Coward
Paul Scofield and Patricia Routledge star in Noel Coward s classic comedy of errors.
Private Lives was written in 1930 and has been a mainstay of British theater ever since. This sharply funny play of reversals focuses on Elyot and Amanda, a passionate but feuding couple who divorced five years before. Now, on the first night of their honeymoons with their new partners, they find that they are all staying in the same hotel on the French Riviera. Fireworks are inevitable
The roles of the two ex-spouses are brilliantly recreated by Paul Scofield and Patricia Routledge, while Coward s scintillating repartee epitomizes all the glamour and sophistication of life between the wars for society s spoiled darlings.
The Classic Radio Theatre range presents notable radio productions of much-loved plays by some of the most renowned playwrights, and starring some of our finest actors.
