Blithe Spirit
By Noel Coward

February 4 & 9, 10, 11, 2012

Blithe Spirit. Charles Condomine, a novelist researching material for a new thriller he is penning , invites a spiritual medium to his home to communicate with the dead. After a raucous séance, the spirit of Charles's first wife, Elvira, is inadvertently summoned. At first the spirit only reveals herself to Charles, and Ruth, his second and more sensible wife, believes he has gone crazy until she herself sees proof of Elvira's presence.

A darkly humorous competition between the two women ensues. This world class comedy premiered in 1941 and recently was revived on the Broadway stage. It playfully pokes fun at the tradition of love and marriage and is a true theatrical delight.

"... a highly efficient laugh machine…will keep an audience in a state of tickled contentment."
