Noël Coward’s Blithe Spirit
A dinner, a relationship on the rocks, a séance gone awry, what could possibly go wrong?
Eccentric medium, Madame Arcati, is guest of honour at a dinner party hosted by socialite novelist, Charles Condomine and his partner, Rudi. Charles is hoping to pick up “ a few tricks of the trade” for his new novel. But after too many martinis and a schemozzle of a seance, Charles gets more than he wished for when an unexpected guest materializes.

Written in just seven days, Blithe Spirit remains one of Noël Coward’s funniest and enduring comedies. Stylish, sharp and just a wee bit spooky, Blithe Spirit is a delicious cocktail of magic and mayhem.

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

Jennifer Ward-Lealand and Michael Hurst star in the award-winning two-hander, In Other Words.
Starring the acclaimed real-life couple Jennifer Ward-Lealand and Michael Hurst, this is a rare opportunity to see two of New Zealand’s finest actors share the stage in a two-hander for the first time.

In Other Words tells the story of Arthur and Jane, whose lifelong love is threatened by the gradual onset of Alzheimer’s.

Connected by the timeless music of Frank Sinatra, this intimate, humorous and deeply moving story explores the effects of dementia and the transformative power of music to help us remember the past, reconnect with the present and hope for the future.

“We’re both going into this show with a huge amount of enthusiasm”, says Jennifer Ward-Lealand. “I’ve had some beloved family members and friends head down this road. It’s pretty devastating and a lot to carry for loved ones.” “We’re all in this together,” adds Michael Hurst.

Written by award-winning UK playwright Matthew Seager, In Other Words has won four Moliere awards for its writing and its sensitive and respectful portrayal of Alzheimer’s. Off the back of an equally successful New Zealand premiere during World Alzheimer’s Month in September 2024, it’s one not to be missed.
