Abstract

Blithe Spirit is essentially a light-hearted sophisticated comedy with overtones of farce, written in 1941 by the master of wit and sophistry, Noel Coward. After a seance, the now re-married Charles is confronted with the materialization of his previous wife, Elvira. He is the only one who can see or hear her. This, naturally, is too much for his present wife, Ruth. Is Madame Acarti to blame? Or are Doctor Bradman, Mrs. Bradman or Edith the cause? As can be imagined this produces the best conditions for a high class farce with co-plots within the plot.
