The next reading and auditions are for
'Private Lives'
- SYNOPSIS -
Elyot and Amanda were married, now both remarried & honeymooning with their new spouses, Sibyl and Victor. Unwittingly, they have chosen not only the same hotel but adjoining rooms. Inevitably, they meet. The spark that was between them is reignited and they decide to run away together.
It doesn’t take long for them to be reminded of why they parted in the first place!
Sibyl & Victor catch up with them and attempt to ‘sort things out’. They are no match for Elyot and Amanda, however. By the end of the play, all social niceties have been well and truly abandoned and Sybil and Victor are behaving as badly as the other two.
Private Lives was written in 1931 and reflects society of that time although the basic premise of the attraction between those who bring out the worst in each other is timeless. This is a fast paced, witty play, written prior to modern ideas of political correctness but no less funny for that. A comedy gem.
