Noel Coward's Private Lives: Review

Hello guys and dolls!
Sorry for not writing in a while, I have been so busy with my drama diploma and my A levels and auditions prep (only two weeks until my RADA and NYT auditions!!!!) Also have been delayed because my useless laptop keeps freezing every time I try and write a post on here, therefore I have had to resort to the bad app that blogger has provided on my phone (so sorry if there are several spelling mistakes.)
Anyway the reason why I'm writing this is because I wanted to talk about the play Private Lives by Noël Coward, which was shown across cinema's nationally last thursday.
The play starred Anna Chancellor and Toby Stephen, both were utterly amazing as the shocking divorce's. Stephen's in particular carried the cocky, 40 something lover sensationally. With both making the chic flat feel like a sensuous love den for the pair, we (the audience) knew that this could not last, and soon the bickering began (ocassionally stopped by "spoondicks" - yes I kid you not, that is what they said.) And down came the raucous fighting and flying of various furniture (blame Anna), that made for cracking visual entertainment.
The same could be said by their co-workers who played the abandoned newly weds, and who turned out to be just as bad (and by bad I mean brilliant) at the bickering as Chancellor and Stephens themselves!
Overall I rate this production 9.5/10 (because as shown in this play, nothing can be perfect.) Oh and my dad, who came to see it with me, seemed to rate it as "bloody good that".
On that note, cheerio!
