"We've stood up - we've lain down - we've concentrated. We've sat
interminably while that tiresome old woman recited extremely
unflattering verses at us. We're endured five ""seances ""- we've
watched her fling herself in and out of trances until we're dizzy,
and at the end of it all we find ourselves exactly where we were at
the beginning."Researching for his new novel, Charles Condomine
invites the implausible medium Madame Arcati to his house for a
seance. Whilst consumed in a trance, Madame Arcati unwittingly
summons the ghost of Charles's dead wife, Elvira. Appearing only to
Charles, Elvira soon makes a play to reclaim her husband, much to
the chagrin of Charles's new wife, Ruth. One husband, two feuding
wives and a whisper of mischief in the air - who will win in
Coward's unworldly comedy?Written in 1941, "Blithe Spirit" remained
the longest-running comedy in the history of the British theatre
for three decades thereafter. Dealing with relationships on both
sides of the grave, it is an enduring classic.A new edition of
Coward's classic play ""published to coincide with the 2014 new
West End revival at the Gielgud Theatre, starring Angela Lansberry
as Madame Arcati."
