their minds and a life
in their hands as they
decide the fate of a young
delinquent accused of
killing his father. But
what appears to be an
open and shut case soon

the twelve, as their prej-
udices and preconceived
ideas about the accused,
the trial and each other
turn the tables every
which way, until the
nail-biting climax.

OCTAGON THEATRE
PRIVATE LIVES
BOLTON’S Octagon
Theatre is to pres-
ent Noël Coward’s
unashamedly flirta-
tious, frivolous and
fashionable comedy
of manners, Private
Lives.
Noël Coward’s hilari-
ous and ground-break-
ing comedy shadows the
glamorous
gallivant-
ing of the era’s adored
Bright Young Things;
a nickname given by
tabloid press to the
bohemian and reckless
young aristocrats and
socialites of 1920s and
30s London, whose wild
behaviour and osten-
tatious parties earned
them admirers and
newspaper
headlines
alike.
Private Lives will be
directed by Octagon
Theatre
Associate
Director
Elizabeth
Newman, the Octagon
Theatre’s next Artistic
Director,
who
has
recently
received
various
Manchester
Theatre Award nom-
inations for all of her
2014/15 plays, includ-
ing Best Production
for Separation, The
Brynteg Award for Best
Musical for Love Story,
and Best Ensemble for
