Wapsi - 16th to 19th January 2020
By Noel Coward 
Translated & directed by Zarqa Naz
An adaptation of Noel Coward’s Blithe Spirit. Writer Mansoor and his wife Areeba invite local spirit medium Khanum Batool to hold a seance at their house. Khanum Batool unwittingly brings back the ghost of Mansoor’ first wife, Naureen, to haunt him. Appearing only to Mansoor, Naureen causes all kinds of mischievous trouble between the married couple. Intensely funny and character-driven, Wapsi combines farce, emotion, and wit to great effect.

An adaptation of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, William Shakespeare’s most popular comedy.
