In this uproarious comedy by the master of wit, socialite and novelist Charles has invited the eccentric medium, Madame Arcati, to his house as research for his next book. But when their dinner-party-turned-séance proves successful, Charles’ marriage is suddenly in jeopardy as he is haunted by the ghost of his first wife. While Charles schemes to get rid of the ghost, she is hard at work trying to get rid of his new wife! One husband and two feuding wives unveils a whole lot of laughs in this mystical comedy of manners!

“Noël Coward is a legendary playwright in the classic Western theatre canon so it may surprise audiences that this will mark the first time one of his plays has ever been done by Persephone in our 50-year history. Coward is known as the “Master of Wit” and Blithe Spirit is one of his best. You can expect a sharp, witty comedy with a supernatural twist!”
