<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face=Arial size=2>This
smash comedy hit of the London and Broadway stages tells the story of Charles
and Ruth who plan an amusing evening with friends by inviting Madame Arcati, a
medium, to their home to hold a séance. The event turns into a nightmare of
hilarity, however, when Charles’ very jealous first wife returns from the
hereafter and attempts to take matters into her own ethereal hands! Noel
Coward's improbable farce takes the audience on an amusing journey through this
world and the next in one of theaters most enduring comedy classics!<SPAN
