Blithe Spirit

It’s been said that “true love never dies.” Well, for one cantankerous English novelist, that is certainly true! In this “spirited” play by Noel Coward, Charles Condomine is a temperamental writer haunted, along with his new wife Ruth, by the spirit of his first wife: the vivacious Elvira. After Elvira is mistakenly summoned during a séance by the medium, Madame Arcati, Charles suddenly finds himself in the middle of a most otherworldly love triangle as both his first wife and new wife vie for his affections. Lighthearted and endearing, Blithe Spirit explores loss and love with tongue firmly planted in cheek in supernatural fashion combining farce, emotion, physical comedy and wit to goosebump-giving effect.

 

This show was nominated for 3 Tony Awards and winner of Featured Actress in a Play (Angela Lansbury for her role as Madame Arcati).
