Blithe Spirit now on sale at Circa Theatre
Noël Coward’s Blithe Spirit
A dinner, a relationship on the rocks, a séance gone awry, what could possibly go wrong?
Eccentric medium, Madame Arcati, is guest of honour at a dinner party hosted by socialite novelist, Charles Condomine and his partner, Rudi. Charles is hoping to pick up “ a few tricks of the trade” for his new novel. But after too many martinis and a schemozzle of a seance, Charles gets more than he wished for when an unexpected guest materializes.
Written in just seven days, Blithe Spirit remains one of Noël Coward’s funniest and enduring comedies. Stylish, sharp and just a wee bit spooky, Blithe Spirit is a delicious cocktail of magic and mayhem.
After 18 years leading Auckland Theatre Company, veteran Wellington director Colin McColl teams up with comedy legend Ginette McDonald and a cast of award-winning actors for this refreshingly new take on Coward’s classic comedy.

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕

We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
