Santa Cruz Shakespeare's Private Lives

Santa Cruz Shakespeare invites you to experience Private Lives by Noel Coward, under the trees and stars of the Audrey Stanley Grove in Santa Cruz's DeLaveaga Park this summer.

If you think Beatrice and Benedick go at it in Much Ado, wait until you see Amanda and Elyot. Both on honeymoons with new spouses, having violently divorced years before, Amanda and Elyot discover each other sharing adjoining balconies in the same hotel. Well, one thing leads to another, and... sometimes the line between love and hate is so thin. In Noel Coward's masterpiece, we witness two selfish, passionate, egotistical, madly in love people drive each other absolutely crazy. How can they possibly survive together? But more importantly, perhaps, how can they survive apart? With Coward's searing wit, you'll laugh until you cry while they scream until they kiss. And vice versa.

Private Lives will star Charles Pasternak as Elyot and Paige Lindsey White as Amanda.

Private Lives runs September 4 - October 4.

Seasonal box office hours beginning May 1 are Tuesday through Friday from 12p.m. to 4p.m. Call 831-460-6399.
