Blithe Spirit

BLITHE SPIRIT Playing in the Long Beach Playhouse’s Mainstage Theater Oct. 31 – Nov. 28, 2026 By Noël Coward Directed by Lauren Velasco From the effervescent mind of Noël Coward comes his engaging comedy of ghostly charms, BLITHE SPIRIT. When a seance goes awry, the fussy, cantankerous novelist Charles Condomine finds himself quite literally haunted by the ghost of his first wife, Elvira. As she makes her displeasure about Charles’ current wife Ruth known, personalities clash, and the eccentric and flighty medium Madame Arcati is called back in to resolve this love triangle from beyond the grave. A smash hit, this much-revived classic is a rip-roaring and scintillating comedy, swimming in the expertly crafted dialogue that only the wit of Noël Coward can produce.
