Riot Grrrl -noun /'ri-?t ?g?rl/

Blithe Spirit
Blithe Spirit
Performed at the University of North Carolina Wilmington 2025
Written in 1941, Blithe Spirit remained the longest-running comedy in British Theatre for three decades. Blithe Spirit is a tug-of-love comedy with a difference: one of the lovers is a ghost. Novelist Charles, hoping to gather material for his next book, asks Madame Arcati (one of the great characters in all of theatre) to conduct a séance in his house. It works too well: his first wife returns from the other side, with predictably disastrous results for his second marriage.
