This production is directed by Tom Attenborough, with designs by Lucy Osborne, lighting by Oliver Fenwick and sound by Gregory Clarke.

Private Lives is the tale of two warring ex-lovers who unexpectedly meet while on their luxury honeymoons with their new partners.

A masterpiece of 1930s high comedy, Private Lives offers a sophisticated evening of acutely sharp, divinely decadent, and unashamed humour.

Tom Chambers’ (Elyot Chase) most recent stage credits include the West End production of White Christmas at the Dominion Theatre, and the Olivier and Evening Standard award-winning musical Top Hat, for which Tom was nominated for the Olivier and WhatsOnStage Award for Best Male Performer In A Musical. Tom is best known for his leading roles in television dramas Holby City and Waterloo Road, as well as winning the sixth season of Strictly Come Dancing in 2008.
