Blithe Spirit
A Comedy by Noel Coward
Fort Mill Community Playhouse
615 Banks St., Fort Mill, SC 29715
February 16, 17, 18, 23, 24, 25 & 26, 2012

Written by Noel Coward and first performed in 1941 in London, Blithe Spirit concerns novelist Charles Condomine who invites Madame Arcati, an eccentric medium and clairvoyant, to conduct a séance, hoping to gather material for his next book. The ghost of his annoying and temperamental first wife, Elvira, causes the scheme to backfire as she makes continual attempts to disrupt Charles’s marriage to his second wife, Ruth, who cannot see or hear the ghost. The comedic twists and turns that follow helped propel Blithe Spirit into one of Britain’s longest running non-musical plays and a favorite on New York’s Broadway. For more information, times, and tickets visit their website at www.fortmillplayhouse.org or call 803-548-8102.
