Noel Coward's
Novelist, Charles Condomine, finds himself haunted, quite literally, by the ghost of his late first wife, Elvira. Clever, persistent, and keenly aware of Charles’ flaws, Elvira is summoned by the eccentric and whimsical Madame Arcati, a self-proclaimed “happy medium.” Now Charles must contend with keeping his current wife, Ruth, happy while clashing with someone only he can see and hear. Noel Coward’s Blithe Spirit explores loss and love with a tongue firmly planted in cheek. This is a supernatural comedy of errors that will keep the audiences on their toes.
