Private Lives with Kim Cattrall                   

Kim Cattrall returns to the London stage in the spring, starring opposite Matthew Macfadyen in Noel Coward’s ‘Private Lives’ at the Vaudeville Theatre. Five times Olivier award winning director Richard Eyre brings the revival to life for a ten week season.

‘Private Lives’ is described as a comedy of manners, a satire of social class and illicit love. A divorced husband and wife (Elyot and Amanda) are honeymooning with their new spouses when they find themselves staying at the same hotel. Realising they still love each other they abandon their new partners and elope, but before long the old cracks in their relationship start to reappear.

Kim Cattrall’s previous London stage appearances include ‘Whose Life is it Anyway’ and ‘The Cryptogram’, both at the Donmar Warehouse. The ‘Sex and the City’ star also has a long list of US stage credits, including ‘The Misanthrope’ and ‘Wild Honey’.

Matthew MacFadyen is best known as Mr Darcy in the 2005 film adaptation of Jane Austin’s ‘Pride and Prejudice’, as well as Tom Quinn in the BBC spy drama ‘Spooks’
