BLITHE SPIRIT

by Noel Coward | Read by Corin Redgrave, Kika Markham, and a Full Cast

Poetry & Drama • 2.25 hrs. • Unabridged • © 1941

Each actor in this audiobook offers full-bodied characterizations, while appropriate sound effects and period music add dimension to Coward's improbable farce. Charles Condomine, a writer, and his second wife, Ruth, engage the services of a medium to conduct a séance--just for laughs. To their shock and horror, they are unexpectedly visited by Condomine's late first wife, Elvira, who plots to get Charles into the spirit world so they can be together for all eternity. Coward's 1941 comedy features Corin Redgrave as Charles, Kika Markham as Ruth, Joanna Lumley as Elvira, and Thelma Ruby as the outrageous medium, Madam Arcati.
