Description
*First London Theatrical Run*
If I really had a free hand I’d wish to broadcast on my hundredth birthday, fly round the world…
Oh, I forgot — I have often wanted the moon…’
Clemence Dane, eminent author, artist, playwright, journalist and Oscar-winning
screenwriter, is asked by her great friend Noel Coward to revive her acting career and play
the famous role he once created for her: the eccentric medium ‘Madame Arcati’ in Blithe
Spirit. She observes, ‘I have enough ghosts around me nowadays without playing someone
who makes a living from conjuring them up…’
As she prepares to answer him, she reflects on their long personal and professional
relationship − as well as memorable episodes from her chequered career, including penning
the controversial early 20 th century lesbian novel Regiment of Women, her war experiences,
and her adventures in Hollywood with Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich… and The Marx
And, as she ‘summons up’ these ghosts from her past, she contemplates her own imminent
future in the other world: ‘Perhaps I’ll come back and haunt you all. But I promise not to do
it when Madame Arcati is summoning up the spirits.’
