The theatrical comedy event of 2027 is coming to Sydney for five weeks only! Internationally acclaimed British actor Hugh Bonneville (Downton Abbey, Paddington) joins four-time Gold Logie Award-winning Australian star of stage and screen Lisa McCune (The King and I, South Pacific, Girl from the North Country) in Noël Coward’s sparkling comedy masterpiece, Private Lives.
Joining Hugh Bonneville and Lisa McCune on stage are Leon Ford (The Pacific, Elvis), Silver Logie Award winner Claire van der Boom (Rush, Sisters of War) and multi-Helpmann Award-winning actress Julie Forsyth (Cloudstreet, Endgame).
Elyot (Hugh Bonneville) and Amanda (Lisa McCune) thought they had put their disastrous marriage behind them. Divorced for five years and honeymooning with their new spouses, their lives are turned upside down when they discover they are staying right next door to each other. What follows is a deliciously funny clash of egos as old sparks fly, tempers flare and common sense goes out the window.
Directed by acclaimed British director Christopher Luscombe (Royal Shakespeare Company, London’s Old Vic and the West End), this laugh-out-loud new production brings Coward’s timeless comedy to life for a new generation.
Group Bookings: Group booking discounts are available for standard, concession, and school groups.

This production contains smoking (herbal cigarettes), depictions of physical violence and alcohol consumption, and scenes of emotional conflict.
Age Recommendation: This production is recommended for ages 14 and over.
