This is a production of "Private Lives" at the Bournemouth Little Theatre. Unusually, the production will not feature a performance by Barry Gray (as he's directing it).

30 seconds on Google produced the following in-depth outline:
"Private Lives" is a 1930 comedy play written by Noel Coward. It covers a divorced couple, Elyot and Amanda, who inadvertently visit the same hotel in adjacent rooms for their respective honeymoons with new spouses. Despite a tumultuous past, they discover that they still love each other. Britain, where the play was first introduced, almost censored sections of the play for its graphic references to sex. The play was quickly made into a film (1931) and was adapted for multiple other media. The play is a commentary on the naive idealism of marriage and the insufficiency of the model of marriage to facilitate healthy and enduring relationships.

Bournemouth Little Theatre is at 11 Jameson Road, Winton, BH9 2QD. Their website is HERE. If you haven't been before, please note that there's no car park but street parking is available in the evenings. It's above a garage and, sadly, there is no disabled access. There is a small bar tucked away at the back; pre-ordering interval drinks is a very good idea.

I will buy tickets for anyone who pays me in advance (that will be one month before the performance. Otherwise, you need to buy your own through the from Ticketsource (from 1 June). Tickets are £14, concessions £12, members £8 (so membership is a good idea if you're going to be a regular visitor). My bank details: D W Maxwell, 40-03-03, 21116088.

The theatre opens at 7pm and we'll meet in the bar from then onwards.
