Blithe Spirit
By Noël Coward
Noël Coward’s HILARIOUS and HAIR-RAISING comedy

CHARLES  "Elvira is here, Ruth – she’s standing a few yards away from you."

RUTH  "Yes, dear, I can see her distinctly – under the piano with a zebra!"

Suranne JonesWhen Charles Condomine and his wife Ruth hire the services of the eccentric Madame Arcati, they think they’re in for an evening of high jinx rather than high spirits – but when the madcap mystic accidentally brings Charles’s ex-wife Elvira back from the beyond, it all starts to go bump in the night. As both women battle for his mortal soul, Charles finds himself wanted dead or alive in Noël Coward’s HILARIOUS and HAIR-RAISING comedy.
