Private Lives
by Noel Coward

Charlotte Repertory Theatre

Booth Playhouse
March 11 - 26, 2005

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.

Fire and brimstone cut right to the heart in this lighthearted look at religion in the age of tele-evangelism.
