Blithe Spirit

About This Event

Cardinal Gibbons High School is proud to take you on a mystical journey set in the 1940\'s full of jokes, fun, and of course some magic. The cast will have you laughing not long after you take your seat and you will be sure to enjoy yourself! The playwrights describe the show best! \"A smash hit comedy in London and New York, this much-revived classic concerns fussy, argumentative novelist Charles Condomine, who has remarried but finds himself haunted (literally) by the ghost of his late first wife, Elvira. Clever, insistent and well aware of Charles\' shortcomings, Elvira is called up by a visiting \"happy medium,\" the eccentric and flighty Madame Arcati. As everyone\'s personalities clash, Charles\' current wife, Ruth, is accidentally killed. She \"passes over\" and joins Elvira, allowing the two \"blithe spirits\" to haunt the hapless Charles into perpetuity.\"
