Felicity Kendal will lead a new revival of Blithe Spirit.
She will play Madame Arcati in Theatre Royal Bath’s production of Noël Coward’s supernatural comedy.
The piece follows novelist Charles Condomine and his second wife, Ruth, who, when Madame Arcati inadvertently conjures up the ghost of his first wife, Elvira, at a séance, are literally haunted by a past relationship.
Lindsay Posner will direct the piece, which will open in Bath from 13 to 22 May 2027, ahead of a national tour.
Further casting and the creative team are to be announced, as well as tour dates.
