Experience the uproarious wit and supernatural charm of Noël Coward's timeless comedy, Blithe Spirit. Set in the sophisticated world of the 1930’s, this sparkling play invites you to a delightful evening of laughter and mischief.
Follow the misadventures of Charles Condomine, a skeptical writer researching the occult for his next novel. When a séance goes awry, Charles unwittingly summons the spirit of his tempestuous, dearly departed first wife, Elvira. As the ghostly Elvira makes herself at home, chaos ensues, leaving Charles torn between two worlds and two wives.
Noël Coward's razor-sharp dialogue and impeccable comedic timing create a whirlwind of hilarity as the living and the dead collide in a battle of wits and egos. Filled with eccentric characters, clever repartee, and unexpected twists, Blithe Spirit is a masterclass in farcical comedy that has enchanted audiences for generations. Join us for a night of supernatural merriment that will leave you in stitches and with spirits lifted. “Blithe Spirit” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com
