THERE will be a very public showing of Private Lives at Altrincham Little Theatre.

The Noel Coward play will be the theatre’s next production, set in Deauville, France, in the 1930s and is directed by Malcolm Cooper.

Two newly married couples occupy adjoining honeymoon suites in the same hotel.

As a distant orchestra plays, Sibyl gazes adoringly at charismatic husband Elyot, while Victor admires his new wife, the vivacious and sophisticated Amanda.

Champagne flows and the sea shimmers in the moonlight as the newlyweds prepare for the evening ahead.

But when Amanda overhears a familiar voice singing a forgotten song, an old spark re-ignites, with spectacular consequences.

Private Lives runs from Sunday, November 18, until Saturday, November 24.
