Hilarious haunting in The Blue Room at The Lawn

NOEL Coward’s wonderful farce, Blithe Spirit is The Asylum Players’ summer show at The Blue Room this July.

Directed by Peggy Reading from July 21-23 the play features Coward’s trademark wit and social observation, coupled with sarcastic ghosts and mad mediums.

Steve Gillard, Artistic Director of The Asylum Players said: “Noel Coward is always such fun to put on, particularly Blithe Spirit. It doesn’t matter how old the audience is, there’s comedy for all. Arch wit and dry asides, mixed with slapstick and flying furniture.”

Written by Coward in 1941, Blithe Spirit tells the story of Charles Condomine, a socialite and writer with his new wife, Ruth as they play host to a spiritual medium, Madame Arcarti. What sets out as a ploy to discover the tricks of the ‘spiritual trade,’ rapidly transforms into a social nightmare when the ghost of Elvira, Charles’ recently deceased, extremely temperamental, former wife, is accidentally conjured up. What precisely is the social etiquette when your extremely ex-wife refuses to leave?
