Review: Punching and tearing are aphrodisiacs in ACT's 'Private Lives'
Briefly

In Noël Coward's 'Private Lives', marriage is depicted as a tumultuous experience where true love is seen in the heat of conflict rather than in romantic gestures.
Coward expertly showcases the irony of society's glamour, revealing that even the most privileged among us are deeply flawed and prone to self-sabotage.
The set design of 'Private Lives' emphasizes the duality of relationships, with mirror-image hotel balconies symbolizing the inherent conflicts faced by both couples.
Through witty dialogue and clever staging, Coward unveils profound truths about the human condition, illustrating our inability to attain sustained happiness.
