Directed by Lindsay Posner, the Noël Coward comedy will launch a national tour from Theatre Royal Bath.
One of the UK's most popular actresses takes on one of British theatre's most outlandish characters as Felicity Kendal stars as the eccentric clairvoyant Madame Arcati, in a brand-new production of Noël Coward's supernatural comedy BLITHE SPIRIT, which opens at Theatre Royal Bath from 13 – 22 May 2027, prior to national tour.
Novelist Charles Condomine and his second wife Ruth are literally haunted by a past relationship when Madame Arcati inadvertently conjures up the ghost of his first wife, Elvira, at a séance. Visible only to Charles, and determined to sabotage his current marriage, the mischievous
Elvira makes sure life - and the afterlife - gets very complicated for all concerned!
