Giles Croft’s production of Noel Coward’s Private Lives this autumn will star husband and wife team Janie Dee and Rupert Wickham as Elyot Chase and Amanda Prynne.

In Coward’s 1930’s comedy, two honeymooning couples share adjacent rooms in a smart hotel in a fashionable French hotel. But there’s a problem. Two of those involved were married before. To each other. When they meet again, they throw themselves into a love affair without a care for the scandalous consequences and run off together to an apartment in Paris. Elyot and Amanda’s stormy relationship reaches its climax as their new partners track them down and walk in on them.

This production with design by Dawn Allsopp and lighting design by Alexandra Stafford will also star Victoria Yeates, Marcus Hutton and Debra Stewart.
