REST presents Noël Coward’s smash hit comedy ‘Blithe Spirit’!
Charles Condomine, an author suffering from writer’s block, organizes a séance with the eccentric medium Madame Arcati to try and get some inspiration for his new book. Unfortunately, his plan backfires, and instead he gets haunted by the spirit of his deceased first wife Elvira, who’s accidentally been conjured up in the process.
Dramatic as ever, Elvira delights in wreaking havoc among the living and disrupting Charles’s marriage to his second wife, Ruth, who cannot see or hear the ghost. Meanwhile Madame Arcati desperately looks for new ways to send the happy phantom back to spirit world, but that’s easier said than done…
“Days may not be fair ….always
That's when I'll be there… always
Not for just an hour
Not for just a day
Not for just a year
But always”
- Irving Berlin -
