Blithe Spirit is a comedic play by Noël Coward that centers on novelist Charles Condomine, who invites the eccentric medium Madame Arcati to his home to conduct a séance as research for his next book. The evening takes a bizarre turn when Madame Arcati inadvertently summons the ghost of Charles’s first wife, Elvira. Invisible to everyone but Charles, Elvira quickly makes her mischievous presence known, much to the bewilderment and growing frustration of Charles’s current wife, Ruth. What begins as a light-hearted experiment spirals into chaos as Elvira’s ghost attempts to reclaim her place in Charles’s life—dead or alive!
Opening Night Event – 20th June, 2025 @ 7pm
For Blithe Spirit, Spectrum Theatre will be putting on a special premiere night, where guests are encouraged to dress up in their finest (or wildest) clothes for a red-carpetesque event where you’ll receive a complementary glass of champagne (or juice!) on arrival.
