Noël Coward’s spirited comedy, <b><i><span style="color:#7030A0"><a href="https://www.playhousesquare.org/events/detail/blithe-spirit">Blithe Spirit</a></span></i></b>.
</span></span><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The Two-Act play gives us fussy, cantankerous novelist Charles Condomine, re-married but haunted by the ghost of his late first wife, the clever and insistent Elvira who is called up by a visiting ’happy medium,’
Madame Arcati. Worlds collide, personalities clash and Charlie’s current wife Ruth accidentally joins forces with Elvira in the afterlife. These two ‘blithe spirits’ haunt their hapless husband into perpetuity.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
