Private Lives

Don Bluth Front Row Theatre
8670 East Shea Blvd, Suite 103 Scottsdale

It's no great surprise that Noël Coward saved his zestiest zingers and sharpest one-liners for Private Lives -- he always intended to star in the comedic masterpiece himself. His greed is your gain as Private Lives ranks as one of the most savagely funny plays ever written. Elyot and his ex-wife Amanda can't live with or without each other, which makes things a bit sticky when they find themselves honeymooning in the same hotel -- each with a new, younger spouse. While their puzzled new partners try to cope, the two fall in love (and come to blows) all over again. See this Art Deco-era comedy about the pleasures -- and pitfalls -- of romance now at the Don Bluth Front Row Theatre in Scottsdale.
