A sensation in London and New York, Blithe Spirit has now arrived in Dulwich! This uproarious play follows the fussy and cantankerous novelist Charles Condomine, who, while researching his latest work, seeks expert advice on the occult. He invites the eccentric yet enthusiastic Madame Arcati to dinner, along with the skeptical Bradman family, to conduct a séance. To everyone's surprise, especially Charles and Madame Arcati, the event conjures the ghost of Charles' late first wife, Elvira.
Clever, insistent, and all too aware of Charles' shortcomings, Elvira is thrilled to be back (sort of) in the mortal realm, though she’s less than pleased to discover that Charles has remarried...

We follow the well-known story of the boastful but loveable rogue Toad, whose reckless obsession with fast cars lands him in court then prison. Helped to escape, disguised as a washerwoman, he has to make his way home to Toad Hall in time for Christmas. However, Toad Hall is now occupied by the evil Stoats and Weasels. How is he going to reclaim his home? Thankfully his loyal friends Mole, Ratty and Badger come to the rescue.
This Dulwich Players production joyfully adheres to the traditions and conventions of that peculiar and unique theatrical genre performed every Christmas – the English Pantomime.
