What if Carrie and Mr. Big traveled back in time to 1930s London and Paris? They'd be starring in Noel Coward's classic "battle of the sexes" comedy Private Lives, presented by Table for Two Productions and directed by Jules Aaron, February 16 - March 25 at GTC Burbank.
Coward’s comedic genius is on full display in Private Lives, which follows the saga of perpetually dueling lovers Amanda and Elyot, two divorcees who unwittingly book adjoining rooms while honeymooning with their new spouses. They soon realize the folly of their new marriages and impulsively flee together to Paris, only to be caught days later by their jilted spouses. This stylish, savvy and still-timely comedy is loaded with pointed barbs about modern romance and the people we can't live with—or without.
This is the first time that Private Lives has been staged in the LA/Burbank area in 10 years. Starring as the dueling lovers Amanda and Elyot are Stasha Surdyke and Lenny Von Dohlen. Co-starring as their new spouses, Sybil and Victor, are Annie Abrams and Jeff Witzke. Louise, the maid, is played by Angie Light.
Performances are 8 p.m. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and 2 p.m . Sunday. Tickets are $20.00 - $34.50 per person, and are on sale now. A limited number of VIP packages will be available. For tickets, call (323) 960-7738, or visit www.Plays411.com/PrivateLives.
