Raven Theatre will open its 40th Anniversary Season with a fresh take on Noel Coward’s iconic 1930 comedy Private Lives.
The production, directed by Ian Frank, will run Sept. 29-Nov. 13 on Raven’s 85-seat East Stage, 6157 N. Clark St.
Private Lives will feature Rudy Galvan, Alexis Green, Bradley Halverson, Matthew Martinez Hannon and Emily Tate.
In this revival, once-married Elyot and Amanda cross paths on their unexpectedly adjoined honeymoons: same hotel, same resentments, but with new spouses. Sharp words evolve into fresh sparks, followed by an endless roundabout of chaos and romance where enemies become lovers and lovers become fools. This timeless, witty and risque play follows the ups, downs and all-arounds of passion and betrayal. Are they in it for love … or just for the thrill of it all?
