Complete Cast Announced for London's Private Lives

Lisa Dillon and Simon Paisley Day have joined the cast of Private Lives, which is headlined by the previously announced leads Kim Cattrall and Matthew Macfadyen. The Noel Coward comedy, directed by Richard Eyre, will begin performances at the West End's Vaudeville Theatre on February 24, 2010. Opening night is set for March 3.

Private Lives tells the story of glamorous, rich and reckless Elyot (Macfadyen) and Amanda (Cattrall), who have been divorced from each other for five years. Now both are honeymooning with their new spouses in the South of France. When by chance they meet again across adjoining hotel balconies, their insatiable feelings for each other are immediately rekindled. Without a care for scandal, new partners or memories of what drove them apart in the first place, they hurl themselves headlong into love and lust.

Dillon plays newlywed Sybil. Her theater credits include When the Rain Stops Falling at the Almeida, and Under the Blue Sky and The Master Builder in the West End. Television credits include Cranford, Hawking and Cambridge Spies.

Days rounds out the cast as Catrall's new husband Victor. His recent theatrical credits include Entertaining Mr. Sloane for the English Touring Theatre, Timon of Athens at Shakespeare's Globe and The 39 Steps in the West End.

Prior to its 10-week West End engagement, Private Lives will have a two-week run at Theatre Royal Bath from February 10 through February 20, 2010.
