smash comedy hit of the London and Broadway stages, this much-revived classic from the playwright of Private Lives offers up fussy, cantakerous 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 visiting "happy medium", one Madame Arcati. As the (worldly and un-) personalities clash, Charles' current wife Ruth is accidentally killed, "passes over", joins Elvira and the two "blithe spirits" haunt the hapless Charles
into perpetuity.</i></b></span></font><font size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br>

equal. She can come across as a little bit superior and judgemental and, despite her struggles to hide it, is jealous where her husband's first wife, Elvira, is concerned.</span></font></span></font></div>
