Edited for audio recording but true to the original script! I found this extremely useful for learning my part for a local production. Great story. A drama full of hilarious arguments and quirky characters!

Great live recording of a Coward classic!

This is Coward at his sparkling best, brilliant dialog. The interplay between characters in the awkward situation for a couple i.e. playing host to the spirit of the husband's dead wife.

An excellent performance of Noel Coward's classic play. I particularly love the line "anyone can write books but it takes a real artist to make a truly dry Martini". Great fun.

Fabulous fun from the pen of Noel Coward

Spoiled as most L.A Theatre productions are spoiled by the sound which comes across as recorded in a huge bare aircraft Hanger, giving of no atmosphere but cold emptiness.
A shame because I like Blithe Spirit and often watch the old film starring a young chutzpah only 2 chinned Margaret Rutherford giving a wonderful send up performance as the dotty spiritualist and the film has warmth, fun and is worth multiple viewing. However; this L.A performing leaves me rather like the ghost - cold, so I will not often listen to this.
