The Owen Theatre

Called one of the most sophisticated, entertaining plays ever written, Noel Coward’s “Private Lives” is a 1930s comedy of manners. A divorced couple who, while honeymooning with their new spouses, discover that they are staying in adjacent rooms at the same hotel. Despite a perpetually stormy relationship, they realize that they still have feelings for each other.

Car trouble strands innocent sweethearts Brad and Janet at a spooky castle where they encounter the wildly eccentric Dr. Frank-N-Furter, a transvestite scientist from Transylvania. He unveils his creation, Rocky, a perfect man. Through a night of bizarre encounters, seduction, and rock and roll, Brad and Janet's worldviews are shattered before the aliens reveal themselves and depart, leaving the couple forever altered. It's a campy, rock musical about sexual liberation and embracing the strange.
