Blithe Spiritby Noel Coward
November 12 - 27, 2010 Directed by David Went Horror novelist Charles Condomine's introductory toast "To the unseen!" - has particular resonance when he and his second wife Ruth invite the superbly batty clairvoyant Madame Arcati into their home to conduct a seance to provide research material for Charles' new novel. The seance leads to the most bizarre menage-a-trois in the history of the stage when Charles' first wife Elvira returns from the dead.
