‘Blithe Spirit’ final shows

The play is set in an upperclass English home during the 1930s, prior to the outbreak of World War II. Charles, a novelist, invites Madame Arcati, an eccentric medium, to his house to conduct a seance, hoping to gather material for his next book. This scheme backfires when he is haunted by the ghost of his annoying and temperamental first wife, Elvira, who disrupts Charles’ marriage to his second wife, Ruth, who cannot see or hear the ghost.
