Blithe Spirit
29th Nov - 2nd Dec 2017
Researching his new novel, sceptical author Charles Condomine invites the eccentric clairvoyant Madame Arcati to his house for an elegant dinner party. While consumed in a trance, she unwittingly conjures the ghost of Charles’ deceased first wife, the gorgeous and ever-so-naughty Elvira.
Appearing only to Charles, Elvira soon makes a play to reclaim her husband, his odd behaviour soon upsets his new and very much alive wife, the straight-laced and super-rational Ruth. Now if he wants his latest marriage to stand a chance, he’d better conjure up a solution... and fast!
Mayhem and farce ensue as the two feuding wives fight to the bitter end for the love of their mutual husband.
BLITHE SPIRIT is a play full of laughs and love, mischievous ghosts and sparkling wit. Come and be spirited away this winter with the delightful comedy by The Master – Noël Coward.
