Noël Coward’s Private Lives revival at Donmar Warehouse to star Stephen Mangan

We were so ridiculously over in love.
Funny wasn’t it?
Horribly funny.

Elyot and Amanda; glamorous, rich, reckless… and divorced.

A surprise encounter on adjoining hotel balconies rekindles their passion and they fling themselves violently into love once more, and their newly married lives into chaos.

Michael Longhurst, who has announced plans to step down as Artistic Director in 2024, said: “I am beyond thrilled to be honouring the 50th anniversary of Coward’s death by reviving his most famous work Private Lives in the fierce intimacy of the Donmar.”

Private Lives joins Donmar’s 30th season of shows including the UK premiere of Next To Normal and Jack Thorne’s new play When Winston Went to War with the Wireless.
