lighters and garbage pail lids, and creates the extraordinary.
Private Lives
by Noel Coward

Regarded as one of the comic gems of theatre, this classic finds divorcees
Amanda and Elyot (and their new spouses) honeymooning in the same hotel. Their
chance meeting reminds them of why they fell in love, but also why they couldn’t
live together…their mutual aggravation still burns almost as tempestuously as
their love.
