“Blithe Spirit”
by Noël Coward

What could possibly go wrong when a successful novelist invites an eccentric medium to conduct a séance purely for research purposes?

Quite a lot, as it happens.

When the delightfully unconventional Madame Arcati accidentally summons the ghost of Charles Condomine’s first wife, the glamorous and thoroughly inconvenient Elvira, domestic life takes a decidedly supernatural turn. Invisible to everyone but Charles, Elvira is determined to reclaim her former husband, much to the alarm of his very-much-alive second wife.

As tempers fray and cocktails are consumed, both the living and the dead compete for the last word. This supernatural comedy serves up a deliciously mischievous evening of marital mayhem. Sparkling with razor-sharp dialogue, unforgettable characters and Coward’s trademark wit, Blithe Spirit remains one of the most beloved comedy classics of the twentieth century.

A hauntingly humorous tale of love, marriage and the unexpected complications of life after death.

Witty, wicked and wonderfully absurd, Blithe Spirit is proof that death is no obstacle to a truly determined ex-wife.

17th – 26th June 2027

“Pressure”
by David Haig

June 1944. The success of the Allied invasion of Normandy hangs in the balance. As thousands of troops stand ready to cross the English Channel, one man faces a decision that could alter the course of history.

Based on remarkable true events, Pressure tells the story of Group Captain James Stagg, the meteorologist tasked with advising General Eisenhower on the weather conditions for D-Day. Battling conflicting forecasts, military pressure, and the weight of unimaginable responsibility, Stagg must determine whether the invasion should proceed or be delayed.

Combining nail-biting suspense with rich human drama, David Haig’s acclaimed play offers a fascinating glimpse behind one of the most significant moments of the Second World War. A compelling story of courage, conviction and leadership under extraordinary pressure.

A gripping true story where the fate of a nation depended on a forecast.
