The smash comedy hit of the London and Broadway stages, this much-revived classic from the playwright of Private Lives offers up fussy, cantankerous 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. As the personalities clash, Charles’ current wife, Ruth, is accidentally killed, “passes over,� joins Elvira, and the two “blithe spirits� haunt the hapless Charles into perpetuity.
