Semi-Circle - Blithe Spirit, Michal Turtle, Gadget Guru - Artificial Intelligence Applications

English language theatre group Semi-Circle is a non-profit English language theatre group, based in Basel. Semi-Circle's next production is "Blithe Spirit" by Noel Coward. A fast-moving comedy set in the 1930's, this love-triangle between a husband and his two beautiful wives - one who is alive and one who is very much dead - is a witty and riotous English classic! President of the Semi-Circle Sue Newstead and director Scott Holland stopped by to tell us all about the production. Performances are on 9, 10, 16, 17, 23, 24 June 2017 - get your tickets now!
