'Blithe Spirit' by Noel Coward
New Era Players present ‘Blithe Spirit,’ by Noel Coward
A smash comedy hit in London and New York, this much-revived and popular classic from the playwright of ‘Private Lives’, concerns fussy, cantankerous novelist Charles Condomine, who has remarried but finds himself haunted (literally) by the ghost of his late first wife, Elvira, after a séance goes awry. Clever, insistent and well aware of Charles' shortcomings, Elvira is called up by a visiting “happy medium,” the eccentric and flighty Madame Arcati, and proceeds to wreak havoc in Charles and Ruth’s previously happy home. Coward himself labelled this play 'an improbable farce' and it is full of his typical waspish humour and some delicious one-liners. New Era Players are joining in the celebrations to mark the 125th Anniversary of Coward's birth next year.
