Noel Coward

(4.7 stars; 3 reviews)

Saturday-Night Theatre presents Dulcie Gray and Michael Denison in 'BLITHE SPIRIT' on June 16th, 1956, at 21:15 on BBC Home Service. This adaptation, produced by Ayton Whitaker, features a talented cast including Thelma Scott, Mairhi Russell, T St John Barry, Catherine Salkeld, Winifred Oughton, and Dulcie Gray.

The smash comedy hit of the London and Broadway stages, this much-revived classic from the playwright of Private Lives offers up fussy, cantankerous novelist Charles Condomine, who is re-married but haunted (literally) by the ghost of his late first wife, the clever and insistent Elvira, who is called up by a visiting “happy medium,” Madame Arcati.
