Blithe Spirit

Blithe Spirit, farce by Noël Coward, produced and published in 1941 and often regarded as Coward’s best work. This play about a man whose domestic life is disturbed by the jealous ghost of his first wife shows Coward’s humour at its ripest. The combination of drawing-room comedy and ghost story enhances Coward’s usual subject of people whose lifestyles defy conventional morality.
