Blithe Spirit

Blithe Spirit is such a great production by Noel Coward. I have a special place in my heart forth is play. Not only because I play Edith in Loyola's production of this show, also because I have a deep appreciation for Coward. This show has many hilarious as well as visceral scenes. The imagination and imagery that is coveted in this show is mind boggling. Even when reading this play I giggled because of all the highbrow british humor that falls into the hilarity of the situation going on.

Basically the plot line is that Charles and his second wife Ruth call upon Madame Arcati to perform a seance in their living room. Havoc insues and Elvira, Charles late first wife is called back and only Charles can see her, however they soon find out that it was the maid all along with the psychic powers. From the humor to the cucumber sandwiches, this play is a well rounded great production. Come see on Friday!
