Theatre Performance

‘Ladies Day’ is a comedy-drama about four unlikely lasses from Hull, Yorkshire, England. The Ladies decide to take a day trip to Royal Ascot the year it relocated to York. Work, love and life are just one long hard slog for the fish-filleting foursome. Out go the hairnets and overalls as they do themselves up to the nines and head off to the races. The ladies guzzle champagne and place the odd bet and if their luck holds, they could just hit the jackpot.

Presented by Ipswich Little Theatre
Theatre Performance

Look into the crystal ball and enjoy the wit, fun and farcical situations of this sparkling production of ‘Blithe Spirit’ at Ipswich Little Theatre’s Incinerator Theatre.

Writer Charles Condomine invites local eccentric medium, Madame Arcati, to hold a séance at his house and asks along his friends, Dr and Mrs Bradman. His intention is to gather character inspiration from Madame Arcati for his latest book.

Despite initially thinking the séance has been a failure, it soon becomes clear that Madame Arcati has unwittingly brought back Charles’ first wife, Elvira. Once in the house, Elvira is unable to leave, and, as she cannot be seen or heard by Condamine’s second wife, Ruth, she begins to create all kinds of mischief and trouble between the married couple.

When Elvira unwittingly causes Ruth’s death in her attempts to bring Charles over to be with her, Charles becomes haunted by both of his now-deceased wives. Frustrated by their odd situation, the threesome call on Madame Arcati once more to send Elvira and Ruth back to the other side.

Legendary British playwright, Noel Coward’s comic plays continue to delight audiences all over the world. This classic comedy is the first season for Ipswich Little Theatre Society for 2020
