Blithe Spirit is a comic play by Noël Coward, described by the author as "an improbable farce in three acts". The play concerns the socialite and novelist Charles Condomine, who invites the eccentric medium and clairvoyant Madame Arcati to his house to conduct a séance, hoping to gather material for his next book. The scheme backfires when he is haunted by the ghost of his wilful and temperamental first wife, Elvira, after the séance. Elvira makes continual attempts to disrupt Charles's marriage to his second wife, Ruth, who cannot see or hear the ghost.

  • Blithe Spirit (tradotto con Spiritello o Spirito allegro) è una commedia dell'inglese Noël Coward scritta nel 1940. Il titolo prende ispirazione dal poema di Percy Bysshe Shelley To a Skylark. La commedia, messa in scena la prima volta nel 1941 in piena Seconda guerra mondiale, fu duramente criticata per come rappresentava con poco rispetto un argomento serio come la morte. Il pubblico si curò poco di queste critiche e ne decretò il successo: la commedia rimase in scena per ben 1997 repliche nel West End, un record che sulle scene inglesi fu battuto solo da Boeing Boeing negli anni settanta.
