Noël Coward’s Private Lives starring Toby Stephens and Anna Chancellor will be screened in UK cinemas for one night only on Thursday 6th February 2014.
Private Lives is the second production to be distributed as part of CinemaLive and Digital Theatre’s West End Theatre Series. The Chichester Festival Theatre production, directed by Jonathan Kent, was captured at London’s Gielgud Theatre last year.
In April 2013 Digital Theatre and CinemaLive announced their partnership to distribute a series of acclaimed productions, captured live in London’s West End, to cinemas around the world. Last October the Menier Chocolate Factory's production of Merrily We Roll Along became the first production in series.
Following a sell-out run at the Chichester Festival Theatre, Noël Coward’s dazzling and irresistible comedy transferred to the Gielgud where it played a limited season from 22nd June to 21st September 2013.
Elyot Chase (Toby Stephens) and Amanda Prynne (Anna Chancellor) are glamorous, rich, reckless… and divorced. Five years later, their love for one another is unexpectedly rekindled when they take adjoining suites of a French hotel while honeymooning with their new spouses. This chance encounter instantly reignites their passion, and they fling themselves headlong into a whirlwind of love and lust once more, without a thought for partners present or turbulences past.
Toby Stephens and Anna Chancellor are joined in the cast by Anthony Calf as Victor Prynne, Anna-Louise Plowman as Sibyl Chase and Sue Kelvin as Louise. Noël Coward’s Private Lives has design by Anthony Ward, lighting by Mark Henderson, sound by Paul Groothuis and music by Matthew Scott.
The West End Theatre Series marks the first time that productions from the West End’s leading commercial theatre producers are available in High Definition as a global cinema series. Other countries taking part in the series include the USA, Canada, Ireland, Australia,New Zealand, Sweden, The Netherlands, Russia and Brazil.
Noël Coward’s Private Lives will screened in select UK cinemas from 6th February 2014.
