This production of Blithe Spirit first opened at Theatre Royal Bath in June 2019, later transferring to the Duke of York’s Theatre in March 2020. Two weeks into its run, performances were cancelled due to the pandemic.
Directed by Richard Eyre, Blithe Spirit sees a dinner party entertained mid-way through the night by clairvoyant Madame Arcati. Staging a séance in the dining room is tricky enough, but when Arcati gets in touch with the spirit of a guest’s late wife, chaos ensues.
