Alison Steadman will star in Noël Coward’s 1941 revival of Blithe Spirit at the Apollo theatre from 2 March - 18 June 2011.

Alison Steadman

Steadman was last on the West End stage in the successful 2009 run of Alan Bennett’s play Enjoy. Her other credits include The Rise And Fall Of Little Voice in 1993 and is probably best known for her screen work, Mrs. Bennet in the BBC version of Pride & Prejudice, Gavin and Stacey and several films by Mike Leigh.

In the revival Steadman will play the role of clairvoyant Madame Arcati, who is hired by novelist Charles and his second wife Ruth to entertain guests at a dinner party. They have presumed the woman is a fraud, but when Charles’s first wife Elvira appears, visible only to him and determined to sabotage his current marriage, life (and the afterlife) begins to get complicated.
