I am not a fan of reading plays, as you might know, but some plays are so much more simple and fun to read than others; Blithe Spirit is one of those plays. Fortunately for me, I've done a few scenes from it and some of my fellow classmates are performing in it this season. Noel Coward created such a lovable group of characters, I can't deal. For the most part, each person had a quality of comedy, wit, and human-ness. Even though Elvira was a ghost, the only times I ever thought about her like that was when she would play with Charles and Ruth. Elvira was my favorite character, she is just above Charles (only because I played Charles in the scenes I did). Elvira is the life of the play, ironic because she is most definitely dead, she creates interesting situations, drama, and knows how to keep everything interesting. I liked reading this play, and I'm sure I'll love watching it this Friday when it opens at loyola.
