Season of Shows
Blithe Spirit
By Noel Coward
Directed by Pat Gosnel
The
smash
comedy
hit
of
London
and
Broadway
stages,
this
much-revived
classic
from
the
playwright
of
Private
Lives
offers
up
fussy,
cantankerous
novelist
Charles
Condomine,
re-married
but
haunted
(literally)
by
the
ghost
of
his
late
first
wife,
the
clever
and
insistent
Elvira
who
is
called
up
by
a
daffy
“happy
medium,”
one
Madame
Arcati.
Blithe
spirits
breezily
clash
with
the
living
in
Noel
Coward’s joyous comedy, not to be missed!
