A smash comedy hit in London and New York, this much-revived classic from
the playwright of Private Lives 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, is accidentally killed.
She “passes over” and joins Elvira, allowing the two “blithe spirits” to
haunt the hapless Charles into perpetuity.
