Blithe Spirit by Noël Coward

Pitlochry Festival Theatre, Port-Na-

Craig Rd, Pitlochry PH16 5DR

Celebrated (and often cantankerous!) novelist

Charles Condomine has invited a local medium and

eccentric, Madame Arcati, to hold a séance at his house, as research for his latest book. Rather

surprisingly, the hapless Arcati calls up the ghost of

Charles’ first wife – the alluring Elvira. Safe in the knowledge that only Charles can see her, Elvira

embarks on a series of troublesome events that

quickly move from somewhat harmless to very dangerous… Blithe Spirit is Coward’s most

successful, inventive, highly spirited comedy. It was

the longest running hit of his career. Tickets: from £16.00 PLUS groups offers, family tickets and

concessions. Box Office Tel:- 01796 484626

The Crucible by Arthur Miller

Pitlochry Festival Theatre, Port-Na-

Craig Rd, Pitlochry PH16 5DR

For the puritanical folk of Salem, Massachusetts, the

news that their young women have been conjuring

spirits in the forest is devastating. It means the devil

is amongst them. And the devil must be hunted

down and driven out, whatever the cost. Fear and

suspicion spirals quickly out of control, unleashing

a murderous powder keg of accusations, hysteria,

lust and revenge. Arthur Miller’s 1953 play is one

of the most powerful pieces of 20th century theatre.

Written as an allegory for McCarthyism, when the

US government persecuted its citizens for being

communists, this parable of politics, religious

fervour and fear is a masterpiece which still

resonates in the 21st Century. Tickets: from £16.00

PLUS groups offers, family tickets and concessions.
