Blithe Spirit

Main CharactersCharles Condomine: A sophisticated, slightly pedantic novelist who becomes the harried victim of a domestic tug-of-war between his living wife and his persistent, ghostly ex-wife. Elvira: Charles's late first wife—a mischievous, ethereal, and possessive spirit who returns to the mortal world with the sole intention of disrupting his current marriage. Madame Arcati: An eccentric, bicycling medium whose genuine but unpredictable supernatural powers set the play's chaotic events in motion with professional enthusiasm and odd rituals.
