Widowed seven years ago, and married to his second wife for five, author Charles Condomine invites a local medium to his home for research on his next book. The seance results in the appearance of his first wife’s ghost, who then proceeds to disrupt the household, with hilarious results.This classic farce, “Blithe Spirit” was written by Nöel Coward in 1941 as a morale-raiser for Londoners ravaged by the Blitz. It ran for 1,997 consecutive performances in London’s West End and for 650 in its original run on Broadway. It has kept audiences laughing ever since, as Coward’s most popular work.
Directed by Alex Kanarek and Jennifer Tiffin, “Blithe Spirit” shows Coward at the top of his form as a master of comedy and farce with unforgettable characters and the wittiest language on the stage. With a dazzling set that will transport the audience into two marriages filled with all the quirks that they will see in themselves, this gem will counter the winter’s blahs and send you home happy.
As the last show of the Guelph Little Theatre’s 90th Season, “Blithe Spirit” concludes a year of fantastical plays, intriguing mysteries, and madcap farce proving that everyone is good for a laugh, dead or undead!
