Not: Private Lives

October 27, 2026

Thirty years after an infamous weekend on the French Riviera, theatre’s most famously dysfunctional marriages collide in the frozen peaks of St. Moritz.
The daughter of a notoriously toxic, upper-class couple is set to marry a French millionaire at an elite alpine ski resort where appearances are everything and chaos… is inevitable.
This razor-sharp theatrical parody acts as an unofficial, fast-paced sequel to a classic 1930s comedy of bad manners, thrusting iconic archetypes into the dawn of the swinging sixties.
The fragile peace is shattered when the bride’s father’s fiery ex-wife gatecrashes the festivities. Armed with an explosive, decades-old secret, she is determined to throw the high-society wedding into absolute freefall. A fiercely manipulative concierge and a razor-tongued grandmother add fuel to the fire, turning public embarrassment into an art form. This is NOT: Private Lives.
