After their sell-out performances at Reveley last year, we are delighted to welcome back the Oxford Rep Company !
The production will feature Noel Coward’s classic comedy of manners ‘Private Lives’.
Five years ago, Elyot and Amanda’s whirlwind marriage ended in bitter divorce, leaving both individuals keen to move on and leave their turbulent and unfinished business behind them. The best laid plans of mice and men, though, often go awry, and chance would now find them both honeymooning with their new partners on the coast of France. The only problem? Their hotel suites are connected by a shared balcony. Old passions bubble to the surface, marital bliss descends into a spate of furious rows, and inescapable chemistry is laid bare.
When you cannot live with someone, but cannot live without them either, what is there to be done?
This production of Noel Coward’s ‘Private Lives’, is set amongst the colour and charm of a 1950s French summer. With record smashing stage fights, love songs floating on warm evening breezes, and dazzling costumes - it’s not to be missed!
Performances are at 2.30pm and 7.30pm on Friday 22nd and Saturday 23rd May. Book online at
