Blithe Spirit
By Noël Coward
Cantey V. Sutton Theatre
June 6 – 22, 2014
A novelist invites an eccentric medium and clairvoyant to his house to conduct a séance for research for his next book. The scheme backfires when he is haunted by the ghost of his temperamental first wife. She attempts to disrupt his marriage to his second wife, who cannot see or hear her. Having held the record for the longest-running, non-musical British play in the West End from 1941-1957, Coward’s work has been adapted to film, musical, television, and radio.
