A romantic radio comedy set in France, produced from Hilton Head and ... free!
Through May 2, the Lean Ensemble on Hilton Head Island is offering a classic radio moment filled with the comedic wit of the legendary British playwright, Noel Coward. Set in the 1930s in an upscale French hotel in Deauville where a freshly divorced couple meet honeymooners in adjacent rooms, “Private Lives” is enormously entertaining. But be warned, as the theater says: barbs will fly, love will be shattered and, ahem, possibly rekindled!
Kind of edenic from beginning to end, the plot will amuse and involve you. It’s the kind of British humor that begins with a chuckle, then expands until listeners are fully captivated following the complicated relationships of the couples.
“Private Lives” is directed by marcus d. harvey, remembered for his command of the role of Pastor Paul in The Christians, a Lean production presented in February 2020, just ahead of Covid-19.
