Three Plays by Blithe Spirit, Hay Fever, and Private Lives

This collection of three Noel Coward plays captures the essence of the 1930s and '40s with its languid aristocrats exchanging witticisms while waiting for martinis. Noel Coward's popularity as a playwright and his charismatic persona are encapsulated in these plays. In Blithe Spirit, Charles Condomine is visited by his deceased first wife, Elvira, who has returned as a ghost. Charles has since remarried Ruth, and chaos ensues as Elvira wreaks havoc on their lives. The bohemian family in Hay Fever brings emotional turmoil to their weekend visitors. In Private Lives, a divorced couple finds themselves in adjacent hotel rooms while on honeymoon with their new spouses. These plays embody the wit, elegance, and melodrama that made Noel Coward a legend of his time.
