"Some of [Coward's] most sparkling dialogue ever... This play is
about something substantial - the way past relationships come back
to haunt us - but it's the gossamer-like nature of the piece, its
sheer levity of spirit, that makes it such an enduring achievement"
- The Telegraph When socialite and novelist Charles Condomine
attends a séance hosted by eccentric medium Madame Arcati, he's
only hoping to gather material for his next book: he never expected
to be haunted by his temperamental ex-wife, Elvira. Can Charles
keep this willful spirit at bay, or will his new marriage to his
second wife, Ruth, come to an untimely demise? With unforgettable
characters, witty dialogue and farcical situations, Blithe Spirit
ran for decades on the West End, becoming one of the most
well-known plays in the British canon. This new edition is
published in Methuen Drama's iconic Modern Classics series to
coincide with the 50th anniversary of Coward's death and features a
new introduction by Arianne Johnson Quinn.
