Private Lives is a 1930 comedy of manners in three acts by Noël Coward. It concerns a divorced couple who, while honeymooning with their new spouses, discover that they are staying in adjacent rooms at the same hotel. Despite a perpetually stormy relationship, they realise that they still have feelings for each other. Its second act love scene was nearly censored in Britain as too risqué. Coward wrote one of his most popular songs, "Some Day I'll Find You", for the play.

Despite a perpetually stormy relationship, they realise that they still have feelings for each other. Its second act love scene was nearly censored in Britain as too risqué. Coward wrote one of his most popular songs, "Some Day I'll Find You", for the play. After touring the British provinces, the play opened the new Phoenix Theatre in London in 1930, starring Coward, Gertrude Lawrence, Adrianne Allen and Laurence Olivier. A Broadway production followed in 1931, and the play has been revived at least a half dozen times each in the West End and on Broadway. The leading roles have attracted a wide range of actors; among those who have succeeded Coward as Elyot are Robert Stephens, Richard Burton, Alan Rickman and Matthew Macfadyen, and successors to Lawrence as Amanda have included Tallulah Bankhead, Elizabeth Taylor, Elaine Stritch, Maggie Smith, Penelope Keith and Lindsay Duncan. Directors of new productions have included John Gielgud, Howard Davies and Richard Eyre. The play was made into a 1931 film and has been adapted several times for television and radio. (en)
  • Vite in privato (Private Lives), talvolta messo in scena in Italia con il titolo Vite private o La dolce intimità, è una commedia del commediografo inglese Noël Coward, debuttata ad Edimburgo nel 1930. La pièce racconta di una divorziata che, durante la luna di miele con il nuovo sposo, scopre che l’ex marito è in viaggio di nozze nella stanza accanto; nonostante i passati burrascosi, i protagonisti scoprono di avere ancora sentimenti per i propri ex. La produzione originale ottenne un enorme successo nel Regno Unito, anche se la scena d’amore del secondo atto fu quasi censurata per la prima londinese. Per la commedia Coward scrisse una delle sue canzoni più famose, ‘Some Day I'll Find You’. Dopo il debutto ad Edimburgo e un tour delle province, Vite in privato debuttò al Phoenix Theatre di Londra nel 1930, con Gertrude Lawrence e un giovane Laurence Olivier nel cast. Nel 1931 la commedia debuttò a Broadway e da allora la pièce fu messa in scena una mezza dozzina di volte a Londra e New York, oltre ad ottenere grande successo internazionale in diversi Paesi in Europa e nel mondo. I due ruoli principali di Elyot ed Amanda hanno attratto grandi interpreti teatrali per tutto il novecento, tra cui Robert Stephens, Richard Burton, Alan Rickman, Edward Duke e Matthew Macfadyen per il primo e Tallulah Bankhead, Elizabeth Taylor, Maggie Smith, Judi Dench, Elaine Stritch, Tammy Grimes, Kim Cattrall e Lindsay Duncan per la seconda.
