Some of [Coward s] most sparkling dialogue ever... This play is about something substantial - the way past relationships come back to haunt us - but it s the gossamer-like nature of the piece,its sheer levity of spirit,that makes it such an enduring achievement - The Telegraph. When socialite and novelist Charles Condomine attends a séance hosted by eccentric medium Madame Arcati, he's only hoping to gather material for his next book: he never expected to be haunted by his temperamental ex-wife, Elvira. Can Charles keep this willful spirit at bay, or will his new marriage to his second wife, Ruth, come to an untimely demise? With unforgettable characters, witty dialogue, and farcical situations, Blithe Spirit ran for decades on the West End, becoming one of the most well-known plays in the British canon. This new edition is published in Methuen Drama's iconic Modern Classics series to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Coward's death and features a new introduction by Arianne Johnson Quinn.
