Noël Coward’s Blithe Spirit 

A dinner, a relationship on the rocks, a séance gone awry, what could possibly go wrong?

Eccentric medium, Madame Arcati, is guest of honour at a dinner party hosted by socialite novelist, Charles Condomine and his partner, Rudi. Charles is hoping to pick up “ a few tricks of the trade” for his new novel. But after too many martinis and a schemozzle of a  seance, Charles gets more than he wished for when an unexpected guest materializes. 

Written in just seven days, Blithe Spirit remains one of Noël Coward’s funniest and enduring comedies. Stylish, sharp and just a wee bit spooky, Blithe Spirit is a delicious cocktail of  magic and mayhem.

After 18 years leading Auckland Theatre Company, veteran Wellington director Colin McColl teams up with comedy legend Ginette McDonald and a cast of award-winning actors for this refreshingly new take on Coward’s classic comedy.
