A run down flat littered with porn, rubbish and the faint smell of sweat in the air. Bobby and Hench are playing PlayStation, masturbating and smoking. Their dog, Taliban, is locked away in their bedroom. Intermittent visits from Mum, Maggie, only add to the chaos surrounding them. Suddenly, there’s a knock at the door. Jenny enters in a bold shake-up for the boys. Is it love? Is it danger? Is it hope? Winner of the Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting in 2013, rated 5-stars by the Guardian and incredible critical acclaim in 2015 and staged for a lengthy time at MCC in New York.

LOVE AND CHAOS COLLIDE IN NOËL COWARD’S TIMELESS COMEDY Amanda and Elyot are charming, rich, utterly reckless - and divorced. When they meet unexpectedly on the first night of their honeymoons with new partners, in the balmy moonlight of the French Riviera, old flames re-ignite, and impulsive love takes hold. But they divorced for a reason, and their fiery romance soon spirals into a chaotic riot of passionate desire, slanging matches and outrageous battles. Set against a backdrop of 1930s glamour, Noël Coward’s Private Lives is a sparkling comedy of manners - hilarious, stylish, and a rollercoaster of emotions, filled with razor-sharp wit, sizzling chemistry, and timeless sophistication.
