Introduction

The play is set in the early 1940s. The action of the play passes in the living room of Charles Condonmine's house in Kent.

Director's Note

Noel Coward wrote, 'I will ever be grateful for the almost psychic gift that enabled me to write Blithe Spirit in five days during one of the darkest years of the war.' He called it an 'imporbable farce'. It remained the longest running comedy in the British theatre for three decades thereafter.
