GAP to perform Noel Coward’s ‘Private Lives’

An explosive divorced couple, honeymooning with their new spouses, find they have adjacent rooms in the same hotel and that they still have feelings for each other.

If this were the stuff of situation comedies, you would expect the next sentence to have mayhem ensues in it, like an episode of “I Love Lucy.”

However, in his 1930 play “Private Lives”, Noel Coward’s genius transforms it into a poignant, witty, and very funny satire about social conventions that restrict us but also civilize us. The Glen Arbor Players presents this comedy of manners in three acts on Sept. 12-14 at the Glen Lake Community Church.
