Blithe Spirit

by Noel Coward
directed by Claire Hart-Palumbo

June 9-July 3 2011

Main Street Theater Chelsea Market

The smash comedy hit by the great Noël Coward introduces us to fussy, cantankerous 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.
