Adelaide Fringe 2026
Very Private Lives
From the team who brought you 2024 Fringe Award Winner, "Noel and Gertie, Down and Dirty", Coward's classic rom-com Private Lives is re-imagined in a brisk 45 minute celebration of true love and catastrophic coincidence. Six young actors take to the stage as morality, gender, ethics and honour are put to the test in this 97 year old masterpiece.
