SYNOPSIS
​
A smash comedy hit in London and New York, this much-revived classic from famed playwright Noel Coward concerns fussy, cantankerous novelist Charles Condomine, who has remarried but finds himself haunted (literally) by the ghost of his late first wife, Elvira. Clever, insistent, and well aware of Charles’ shortcomings, Elvira is called up by a visiting “happy medium,” the eccentric and flighty Madame Arcati. As everyone’s personalities clash, Charles’ current wife Ruth, meets with her own unfortunate event, and together the two “blithe spirits” prepare to gleefully haunt the hapless Charles into perpetuity. This much revived classic offers wit, conflict, and laughs from start to finish.
