PRIVATE LIVES


*Already seen the show? Vote! |
Noel Coward’s dazzling comic masterpiece, Private Lives, provides a riotous showdown between two of the stage and screen’s most magnetic personalities — Kim Cattrall (Golden Globe® and Emmy Award® winner for Sex and the City) and Paul Gross (Tales of the City, Slings and Arrows, Due South).
Glamorous, rich and reckless, Amanda (Cattrall) and Elyot (Gross) have been divorced from each other for five years. Now both are honeymooning with their new spouses in Deauville on the French coast. When, by chance, they meet again across adjoining hotel balconies, their insatiable feelings for each other are immediately rekindled. They hurl themselves headlong into love and lust without a care for scandal, new partners or memories of what drove them apart in the first place… for a little while, anyway.
