Blithe Spirit follows novelist Charles Condomine and his wife Ruth who host two of their friends for dinner with the eccentric medium, Madame Arcati, to finish off the evening with a séance, in order to research material on the occult for his next book. Though the hosts are skeptical of Madame Arcati’s actual clairvoyance, the séance works and the spirit of Charles’ temperamental first wife, Elvira, returns from beyond the grave- at first just her voice, but steadily growing into a more physical present problem. Unhappy with the fact that Charles has remarried and remaining only able to be seen and heard by him and not Ruth, Elvira takes the opportunity to disrupt his marriage through a good old classic haunting. Things take an even steeper turn when Elvira eventually makes an attempt on Charles’ life so that he may join her in the afterlife. Blithe Spirit marks the third show for Sullivan Rep's inaugural season. For tickets and more information, visit www.sullivanrep.com.
