‘Blithe Spirit’ at USCB
Leave it to the irreverent British playwright Noel Coward to pen a play about death and ghosts at the height of the London Blitz during WWII. But far from being put off by the subject matter, audiences flocked to “Blithe Spirit” to escape war’s reality for a few hours and laugh at the travails of a “hag-ridden” husband torn between two equally demanding wives, one alive and one dead.
