Blithe Spirit

Noël Coward's Blithe Spirit is a witty and charming comedy about a man who invites his late wife to a séance and accidentally summons her ghost. The play is full of Coward's trademark wit and sophistication, and it features a memorable performance by Angela Lansbury as the ghost of Elvira Condomine.

Present Laughter

Also by Noël Coward, Present Laughter is a hilarious satire about a self-absorbed actor who is struggling to cope with his fading career. The play is full of Coward's trademark wit and wordplay, and it features a memorable performance by Kevin Kline as the actor Garry Essendine.

This Happy Breed

J.B. Priestley's This Happy Breed is a heartwarming drama about a working-class family in London during the 1930s and 1940s. The play follows the family through the ups and downs of life, from the Great Depression to the Second World War.

Tonight at 30

Terence Rattigan's Tonight at 30 is a romantic comedy about a group of friends who reunite on the eve of their 30th birthdays. The play explores themes of love, friendship, and regret, and it features a memorable performance by Maggie Smith as the character of Hilary.

II World Classics is a wonderful opportunity to see four classic British plays performed by some of the best actors in the world. These plays are all well-written, funny, and moving, and they offer a unique glimpse into the lives of people who lived during a time of great change and upheaval.
