Blithe Spirit at Hedgerow Theatre Company

The smash comedy hit of the London and Broadway stages, this much-revived classic from the playwright of Private Lives offers up fussy, cantakerous novelist Charles Condomine, re-married but haunted (literally) by the ghost of his late first wife, the clever and insistent Elvira who is called up by a visiting “happy medium”, one Madame Arcati. Noel Coward’s wit and whip is on full display as his hauntingly funny ghost story drives audiences mad!

“It’s discouraging to think how many people are shocked by honesty and how few by deceit.”

Can still keep an audience in a state of tickled contentment” – Ben Brantley, The New York Times, 2009

“A world-class comedy” – TheatreMania.com, 2009
