Blithe Spirit at Theatre Tallahassee

Meet the fussy and cantankerous novelist, Charles Condomine, who finds himself haunted, quite literally, by the ghost of his late first wife, Elvira. Clever, persistent, and keenly aware of Charles’ flaws, Elvira is summoned by the eccentric and whimsical Madame Arcati, a self-proclaimed “happy medium.” As tensions rise and personalities clash, a mishap leads to the accidental death of Charles’ current wife, Ruth. Now, Ruth joins Elvira in the afterlife, leaving Charles at the mercy of two mischievous spirits who delight in tormenting him for eternity. In Noel Coward’s “Blithe Spirit,” prepare for a supernatural comedy of errors where the living and the dead collide, resulting in a delightfully chaotic tale that will leave you laughing and thoroughly entertained.
