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.
