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.
