...real-life Queen and Knave of Hearts (Taylor and Burton) have been plotting a return to Broadway in Noel Coward's Private Lives.

More than half of his $450,000 re-election fund will come from such PACs...
...already been forgotten, while his own plays continue to please and delight, as they probably will for as long as audiences enjoy laughing. Present Laughter (1942), with George C. Scott, is one of this year's Broadway hits, and just two weeks ago, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton announced that they will team up once again to do a Broadway revival of Private Lives (1930), which will probably always stand as the quintessential Coward play: sophisticated, charming and cynical, with dialogue so sharp it instantly carves itself into each generation's memory...
