Description: FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE Blithe Spirit by Noël Coward, Dr Arianne Johnson Quinn "Some of [Cowards] most sparkling dialogue ever... This play is about something substantial - the way past relationships come back to haunt us - but its the gossamer-like nature of the piece, its sheer levity of spirit, that makes it such an enduring achievement" - The TelegraphWhen socialite and novelist Charles Condomine attends a séance hosted by eccentric medium Madame Arcati, hes only hoping to gather material for his next book: he never expected to be haunted by his temperamental ex-wife, Elvira.
