The Pantiles Players started presenting 4 performances of their summer open-air play at Salomons in 2007, the week after their annual run on The Pantiles in Tunbridge Wells. Following 58 years of open-air theatre on The Pantiles, The Players are no longer able to perform on the bandstand due to the increasing extraneous noise. From 2010 The Players are transferring all their performances of the annual summer show to Salomons.

The Pantiles Players present “Blithe Spirit” by Noel Coward, directed by Sarah Truelove
Performances daily at 7.45pm except Sunday at 3.00pm

Charles Condomine is a writer who invites Madame Arcarti, a medium, to conduct a séance in his house in the hope of gathering material for his next book. To his great annoyance she succeeds in summoning the spirit of his temperamental first wife, Elvira. Elvira makes continual attempts to disrupt Charles’ marriage to his second wife, Ruth, who cannot see or hear the ghost. Noel Coward wrote Blithe Spirit during World War II. This delightfully satirical comedy about ghosts playfully mocks the traditions of love and marriage. It became a resounding success that continues to haunt the British stage.
