Lansbury reprises ‘Blithe Spirit’ role

LOS ANGELES

Angela Lansbury has settled in for a six-week run of Noel Coward’s comedy “Blithe Spirit” at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles.

This is the 89-year-old Lansbury’s third time around with Coward’s 1941 farce, which is propelled by a medium who accidentally conjures the ghost of a writer’s precocious wife. Lansbury played the clairvoyant Madame Arcati on Broadway in 2009. She reprised the role last spring on London’s West End.

Now, she’s taking the character on the road for a four-city North American tour that began in Los Angeles on Dec. 9, then heads to San Francisco, Toronto and Washington, D.C.
