Jennifer Saunders is excellent - and Geoffrey Streatfeild's egocentric Charles is also very good.
Fun to watch,, but not overly memorable!
The play is at Bath until 7th July.

Blithe Spirit - Theatre Royal Bath
Bath Theatre Royal's summer season has opened, with a revival of Noel Coward's Blithe Spirit, featuring Jennifer Saunders as the medium, Madame Arcati,who is disastrously successful in raising a spirit, when invited to run a seance by novelist Charles Condomine (Geoffrey Streatfeild) and his second wife Ruth (Lisa Dillon).
It's a lot of fun, but perhaps inevitably , also rather dated - some parts of the play work better than others, and especially when, in the later part of the play, Charles' first wife, Elvira, and second wife Ruth are pitted against one another.
