Ayckbourn’s clever uses of time and space makes this a very intricate and sophisticated comedy while also portraying the deteriorating and rebuilding of relationships among young couples. This play explores the differences in relationships between the younger and older generations while capitalising on certain unlikely issues that may strain the relationships even further.

Hungover from his stag-night booze-up, our groom wakes on his wedding morning in his own bridal suite. How did he get there? And why can’t he remember anything from the night before? This play has provoked waves of laughter in literally hundreds of productions around Europe and across America - a riotous comedy and a touching love story.

www.sheringhamlittletheatre.com Written by Noël Coward. Directed by Peter Craze. Sponsored by Bill LeGrice Roses. Box Office: 01263 822347 Comedy


Private Lives is considered a prime example of the sophisticated comedies of Noël Coward, one of the most prominent dramatists of his era. Amanda and Elyot divorce and marry other mates. Amanda chooses stuffy Victor, while Elyot’s selection is the tiresome Sibyl. Coincidentally, both newlywed couples honeymoon at the same Swiss hotel -- what could go wrong?
