Private Lives is a comedy of manners in three acts, written by Noel Coward and adapted for radio by Cynthia Pughe. The story revolves around a divorced couple who, while honeymooning with their new spouses, discover that they are staying in adjacent rooms at the same hotel.

This production aired on BBC Radio 4 FM on December 20, 1975, featuring a talented cast including Paul Scofield as Elyot Chase, Patricia Routledge as Amanda Prynne, Miriam Margolyes as Sibyl Chase, John Rye as Victor Prynne, and Carole Boyd as Louise. The music was played and improvised by William Davies, with Ian Cotterell as the producer.

Noel Coward famously noted that Private Lives was 'conceived in Tokyo, written in Shanghai, and produced in London in September 1930.' Since its debut, it has continued to attract audiences, proving its timeless appeal.
