By Noël Coward
Directed by Jere Van Paten
To gather background for his new book, novelist Charles Condomine and his second wife, Ruth, invite the extremely eccentric medium, Madame Arcati, to perform a séance. But Charles’ spiritual skepticism vanishes when the ghost of his deceased first wife, Elvira, accidentally materializes —but only to him. Elvira’s still in love and wants Charles back, and she’s not about to let a little thing like death stand in her way! From the delightfully wicked mind of Noël Coward comes Blithe Spirit, where love and marriage devolve into laughter and mayhem — and ‘Till Death Do Us Part’ no longer applies. As the chaos unfolds, the Coward deftly mixes sharp wit with spectral hijinks, creating an enduring favorite — one of the best loved comedies of all time!
