Blithe Spirit

Duke Of York's Theatre, London, WC2N 4BG
  • Star of French and Saunders and Absolutely Fabulous, Jennifer Saunders plays an eccentric clairvoyant in the West End transfer of Noël Coward's Blithe Spirit at the Duke of York's Theatre. Jennifer Saunders is one of the UK’s most popular comic actresses. Her gleefully funny performance as the eccentric clairvoyant, Madame Arcati, delighted both critics and audiences alike when the production opened in Theatre Royal Bath’s 2019 Summer Season. With a distinguished creative team who have won a plethora of awards between them, this is a Blithe Spirt full of sparkling and spirit-lifting hijinks. Novelist Charles Condomine and his second wife Ruth are literally haunted by a past relationship when an eccentric medium – Madame Arcati - inadvertently conjures up the ghost of his first wife, Elvira, at a séance. When she appears, visible only to Charles, and determined to sabotage his current marriage, life – and the afterlife – get complicated. Jennifer Saunders is much loved for the sketch show French and Saunders, for which she and Dawn French received a BAFTA fellowship in 2009, and for the hit comedy series and subsequent film, Absolutely Fabulous, which she both starred in and wrote. At the Duke of York's Theatre from 5 March to 11 April 2020, book your Blithe Spirit tickets today!
