    by Noël Coward

    This beautifully written Noël Coward comedy, follows novelist Charles Condomine, whose settled second marriage is thrown into chaos when a séance accidentally summons the ghost of his first wife, Elvira. Conjured by the eccentric medium Madame Arcati, Elvira soon unsettles Charles and his current wife, Ruth. As tensions mount and personalities clash, events take a darkly comic turn, leaving Charles at the mercy of two spirited former wives.
