Blithe Spirit at The Grand

Raise everyone’s spirits this Hallowe’en with the screamingly funny supernatural farce BLITHE SPIRIT at Blackpool Grand Theatre from Tuesday 28 October to Saturday 1 November 2025.

This exciting new Blackpool Grand Theatre co-production with Wiltshire Creative and renowned theatre producer Lee Dean is the perfect Hallowe’en treat and will star TV, film and theatre favourite Susan Woolridge (Hope and Glory, Jewel in The Crown) as the delightfully eccentric medium Madame Aracti who is invited to conduct a séance at the home of novelist Charles Condomine.

Susan will be joined by talented actors Bridgette Amofah as Elvira, Michael Cusick as Dr Bradman, Gabriella Foley as Edith, Adam Jackson-Smith as Charles Condomine, Jenny Rainsford as Ruth Condomine and Fiona Tong as Mrs Bradman.

Blithe Spirit is one of legendary playwright Noël Coward’s most famous and beloved works and has bewitched audiences for over 80 years with its razor-sharp script, chaotic charm and ghostly goings on. 

Successful author Charles Condomine invites the mysterious medium Madame Arcati to his home for a séance – purely for research for his next book, of course. But when the ghost of his glamorous (and gloriously difficult) first wife Elvira appears, Charles’ perfectly planned life with his second wife Ruth takes a turn for the spectral. Elvira has absolutely no intention of ‘going gently into that good night’ and soon the living and the dead are locked in a battle of wills and witty remarks as life and the afterlife collide and Elvira wreaks havoc to sabotage Charles’ new marriage and reclaim her husband from beyond the grave.

Blithe Spirit is a devilishly delightful way to spend this Hallowe’en. Book your tickets now, join hands and get ready to experience a perfect mix of vintage Coward charm and spooky seasonal fun.
