Private Lives (1931). A 1930 English comedy by Noel
Coward, it was presented in New York the next year with Coward and Gertrude
Lawrence re‐creating their original London roles of a divorced couple who have married new mates and who meet by chance on their respective honeymoons and rekindle their old romance. Few contemporary comedies have retained such ongoing popularity. Major Broadway revivals have included those in 1948 with Tallulah
Bankhead and Donald
Cook, in 1969 with Tammy
Grimes and Brian
Bedford, in 1983 with film star Elizabeth Taylor and her ex‐husband Richard
Burton, and a British import in 2002 with Alan Rickman and Lindsay Duncan. The comedy also remains a favorite in regional theatre and summer stock.
