Private Lives "What Perry shows in abundance is a keen eye for the silent set-pieces, a sure touch with comic explosions, and an unobtrusive use of space." |
 |
"Director Margarett Perry plays the physical comedy to the max. All four actors shape strong-willed characters, and the final blow-out scene is magnificent. The ridiculousness of their high jinks is underscored by the frosty disapproval of Amanda's French maid, reminding us that our private lives, observed from an ironic distance, are ripe comic fodder." |

"Steady even cascading laughter commands attention, of course, but so does finding surprising new angles in a beloved treasure. Perry's energy and spritz in staging Private Lives implies the project has been on her mind a long while." |

"The final clash is hilarious!" |
