A dinner, a relationship on the rocks, a séance gone awry, what could possibly go wrong?

Comedy-legend Ginette McDonald returns to Wellington’s Circa Theatre in Blithe Spirit, opening March 19th!

Eccentric medium, Madame Arcati, is guest of honour at a dinner party hosted by socialite novelist, Charles Condomine. After too many martinis and a schemozzle of a séance, Charles gets more than he wished for when an unexpected guest materializes.

After 18 years leading Auckland Theatre Company, director Colin McColl teams up with comedy-legend Ginette McDonald and a cast of award-winning actors for this refreshing adaption of Coward’s classic comedy.
