In this smash hit of the London and Broadway stages, novelist Charles Condomine invites an eccentric, breezy lady medium into his placid home to learn the language of the occult.  Little does he or his second wife, Ruth, know that the staged séance will summon back Charles’ long-dead first wife, who promptly torments Charles by reminding him of their days and nights together.  The spirit has a ghostly plot in mind: if she can get Charles into a fatal automobile accident, life in the spirit world will have more appeal.  Mistakes occur, however, and it is not Charles who takes the fatal automobile ride! How Charles manages to extricate himself from his blithe spirits makes a hilarious conclusion to this very unusual farce. Blithe Spirit is funny, brilliant, clever and about as cockeyed as any play can be.
