Blithe Spirit

12 June 2015–20 June 2015

A Bear Pit Theatre Company Production

@ The Bear Pit Theatre - Stratford-upon-Avon

Synopsis

Researching for his new novel, Charles Condomine invites the implausible medium Madame Arcati to his house for a séance.

Whilst consumed in a trance, Madame Arcati unwittingly summons the ghost of Charles’ dead wife Elvira.

Appearing only to Charles, Elvira soon makes a play to reclaim her husband, much to the chagrin of Charles’ new wife Ruth.

One husband, two feuding wives and a whisper of mischief in the air – who will win in Noel Coward’s unworldly comedy?

Coward’s play was brought to the cinema screens in 1945 with Margaret Rutherford as Arcati. This Bear Pit production marks the films 70th anniversary.
