Blithe Spirit is Noel Coward’s hilarious tale about Charles, a socialite and novelist who invites a medium to conduct a séance in his house in order to gather material for his next book. But the plan backfires when, following the séance, Charles becomes haunted by the ghost of his temperamental first wife, Elvira. Soon, the lives of Charles and his second wife, Ruth, are continually disrupted by Elvira’s attempts to undo their marriage.
