Noel Coward's "Blithe Spirit"

Everyone likes ghost stories, but when Charles holds a sÃ©ance to do research for his new book, he gets more than he bargains for. The medium calls up the spirit of Charles' ex-wife (who died seven years before) and the spirit, delighted to be with Charles again, decides to stay. This is upsetting to Charles, but more so to his current wife, Ruth. Soon the two women and the two worlds are both fighting over Charles. Exasperated, Charles calls back the medium to try and set things right, and they only go more wrong. This much beloved play is a Noel Coward favorite.

For this, our third production of our 53rd season, we are happy to welcome the acclaimed director Hector Correa into the fold. His frequent collaborator, our own Rose Anne Raphael, is also back as set designer - her work was last seen on our stage in "Uncle Vanya" - and we also welcome back Helen Slomowitz as costume designer, renowned for her always-spot-on costumery. Enjoy the show!
