English

By (author): Noël Coward

Noel Coward's glittering gem - The Times Elyot Chase and Amanda Prynne, recently divorced from one another after a five-year marriage, coincidentally arrive at the same French hotel... where they are both honeymooning with their respective new spouses. Jarred by this encounter, Elyot and Amanda realise that they still very much horrified and fascinated by the other. Frequently performed and revived in the West End, Private Lives is comedy of manners that remains one of Coward's most popular plays. This new edition is published in Methuen Drama's iconic Modern Classics series to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Coward's death and features a new introduction by Simon Stephens. See more
