Packed with razor-sharp wit, eccentric characters, and Noël Coward’s signature sophistication, Blithe Spirit is a fast-paced comedy of manners where the dead refuse to stay buried and the living are left scrambling to keep up.
Theatre in the Round Players (TRP) presents Blithe Spirit running June 19 to July 12. In this sparkling supernatural comedy by Noël Coward, novelist Charles Condomine invites an eccentric medium to conduct a séance as research for his next book – but instead accidentally summons the ghost of his late wife, Elvira. As Elvira wreaks ghostly havoc on Charles and his current marriage, things spiral from strange to delightfully chaotic.
Directed by Dann Peterson, this stylish production embraces the play’s supernatural absurdity and comedic elegance, bringing Coward’s classic farce vividly to life in Theatre in the Round’s intimate arena setting. Equal parts haunting and hilarious, Blithe Spirit offers audiences a witty reminder that the past has a way of lingering – especially when it’s not quite ready to leave!
A Pay-What-You-Can performance is scheduled for Monday, June 29 at 7:30pm, and an Audio-Described performance will be held on Sunday, July 12 at 2:00pm (email tix@theatreintheround.org to RSVP).
