‘Blithe Spirit’ is one of Noël Coward’s most acclaimed plays which explores themes of deception, love, loyalty, and the complex legacy of past relationships. Hence Coward described it as ‘an improbable farce’.

Lind Lane Theatre are taking on this classic as their end of the year play for the pure joy of presenting the masterpiece and the actors are having a ball.

It is set at the house of socialite and writer, Charles Condomine and his wife Ruth. One evening, ‘with the wood fire burning because it is an English summer evening’, Charles invites local eccentric medium, Madame Arcati to hold a seance at his house.

He asks along his friends, Doctor and Mrs. Bradman, intending to gather character inspiration from Madame Arcati for his latest book. Despite initially thinking the seance has been a failure, it soon becomes clear that Madame Arcati has unwittingly brought back Charles’ first wife, Elvira, who, unable to leave the house, causes all kinds of mischievous trouble between the married couple. Intensely funny and character-driven, Blithe Spirit combines farce, emotion, and wit to great effect.

Be prepared for a wonderful night of entertainment!
