📣📣 AUDITIONS ALERT 📣📣Play: Private Lives by Noel Coward
Thursday 21st November 2024 at 7.30pm
Ex-spouses Elyot and Amanda are honeymooning with their new partners in the fashionable Belle Époque resort of Deauville only to find themselves, to their horror, in adjacent hotel rooms. As their passion rekindles, they decide to elope to Amanda’s flat in Paris only to resume the vicious slanging match that drove them apart in the first place.
ROLES REQUIRED
Elyot Chase - a handsome, thirtyish man. Elyot represents the witty, irreverent, sophisticated Englishman.
Amanda Prynne - Elyot’s first wife, newly married to Victor Prynne. She is the most vivacious character in the play. She is not only beautiful but also spirited, independent, and unconventional.
Sibyl Chase - Elyot’s blond, attractive, twenty-three-year-old bride. Conventional, unimaginative, and innocent, she is Amanda’s antithesis and suggests the view of the “nice” English girl.
Victor Prynne - a handsome man a few years older than Elyot. Stuffy and stodgy, he lacks a sense of humor.
Louise - Amanda’s French-speaking maid. She makes a brief appearance in the third act. Her inability to speak English and her incomprehension of the bizarre occurrences in the apartment provide a number of laughs.
