Blithe Spirit is a smash comedy hit set in England in the thirties. This much-revived classic concerns cantankerous novelist Charles Condomine who has remarried but finds himself haunted (literally) by the ghost of his late first wife, Elvira, who is called up by a visiting medium, the eccentric Madame Arcati. Clever, insistent, and well aware of Charles' shortcomings, Elvira clashes with Charles’ current wife, Ruth, who is not about to give him up without a fight creating a ghostly affair of the heart.The production will be directed by Susan Berger, produced by Eric Grimm, and stage managed by Dana Davis.
