Blithe Spirit
Blithe Spirit
Novelist Charles Condomine and his second wife Ruth are literally haunted by a past relationship when an eccentric medium - Madame Arcati - inadvertently conjures up the ghost of his first wife, Elvira, at a séance. When she appears, visible only to Charles, and determined to sabotage his current marriage, life - and the afterlife - get complicated.
Jennifer Saunders is one of the UK’s most popular comic actresses. Her gleefully funny performance as the eccentric clairvoyant, Madame Arcati, delighted both critics and audiences alike when the production opened in Theatre Royal Bath’s 2019 Summer Season.

Really enjoyed it! The prose was somewhat fast at times but that’s just Noel Coward for you.

Jennifer Saunders was her usual absolutely fabulous self but so were the rest of the cast - literally side splitting comedy from start to finish. Highly recommended.

The original film is my all time favourite movie and I was intrigued to see how it would be played on the stage and I definitely wasn't disappointed. True to the film characters bought a really witty edge to the story. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thankyou!

I have attended a few stage plays recently that I have not enjoyed. Thank goodness this has changed with Blythe Spirit. Soooo enjoyable and funny. All the actors were excellent not just Jennifer Saunders - mind you the part could have been written with her in mind.
