Cast Update for Blithe Spirit - at the Apollo 2 Mar 2011

Cast update for The Theatre Royal Bath production of Noel Coward's Blithe Spirit, which opens at the Apollo Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue, 9 March 2011, following previews from 2 March - booking to 18 June 2011.

Joining previously mentioned Alison Steadman (Madame Arcati), are Hermione Norris (Ruth Condomine) & Robert Bathurst (Charles Condomine).

Blithe Spirit is directed by Thea Sharrock, designed by Hildegard Bechtler, lighting by Mark Henderson.

Novelist Charles Condomine and his second wife Ruth are literally haunted by a past relationship when an eccentric medium manages to conjure up the ghost of Charles's neurotic first wife, Elvira, at a seance. They have assumed the preposterous Madame Arcati is a fraud who will simply entertain their dinner guests with a little chicanery and supply Charles with material for his forthcoming novel. But when Elvira appears, visible only to Charles, and is determined to sabotage his current marriage, life - and the afterlife - begin to get complicated.
