Blithe Spirit

‘Blithe Spirit’

by Noel Coward

Directed by Mary Blackford

The Scottish Storytelling Centre, Edinburgh   16 – 18 July 2009

ABOUT THE PLAY

Blithe Spirit is one of Noël Coward’s most popular and enduring plays, featuring not only his perennial preoccupation with interfering exes (this time with a twist), but also some pretty nifty technical jiggery-pokery to keep you amused and amazed.  It also features some of the best comic parts ever written for the stage.
