A Sophisticated Comedy by Noel Coward

Elyot and Sybil are honeymooning in French hotel while Amanda and Victor are honeymooning in an adjacent suite. The two couples discover they are sharing a terrace... and a past as Elyot and Amanda are recently divorced and remarried to Sybil and Victor.

What follows is a domestic comedy of spoiled lovers and reunited partners, jealousies and betrayals, and gloriously witty, hilariously funny Noel Coward rejoinders.

This is part of the Michigan Shakespeare Festival's "Lend Us Your Ears" Reading Series, which offers audiences the opportunity to join MSF directors, actors, and artistic staff as they explore diverse and exciting plays. These script-in-hand readings feature MSF Company Members as well as prestigious guest artists. Each performance is followed by a talk-back discussion with the director and cast about the show.

And, for Private Lives, some lovely wines from local vitners.
