PRIVATE LIVES, a comedy by Noel Coward, is the third show of the Peterborough Players season and runs from July 16 – 27. A classic comedy of bad manners, dry humor and quicksilver sparring that is both daringly hilarious and elegantly sexy; PRIVATE LIVES is widely considered Coward’s greatest comedy.

The action concerns a divorced couple, Amanda and Elyot (played by Dee Nelson and Jack Koenig), both recently remarried, who accidentally book adjoining suites at the same hotel for their honeymoons. The play centers on the two leads and their agonizing realization that they still care for each other, and it contains some of Coward’s best dialogue. Also featured in this production are Sevanne Martin, Dale Hodges, and Jon L. Egging.

PRIVATE LIVES will be directed by Player’s Artistic Director Gus Kaikkonen. The sets were designed by Charles Morgan with lights by Eric Larson, costumes by Lisa Streett-Liebetrau and music arranged and directed by Ellen Mandel.
