This Noël Coward classic comedy is set in the charming country home of Charles Condomine, a re-married widower. A witty and convivial evening party among friends is transformed when a séance conjures the ghost of Elvira, Charles' first wife, who delights in wreaking havoc among the living.

Rosalind Ayres as Ruth Alexandra Boyd as Ensemble Judy Geeson as Elvira Shirley Knight as Madame Arcati Lynne Marta as Ensemble Christopher Neame as Ensemble Ian Ogilvy as Charles

Includes a piece on the "science" of hearing the voices of the dead, or "Electronic Voice Phenomena" with British radio producer Mike Harding.

Directed by Michael Hackett. Recorded before a live audience at the DoubleTree Suites, Santa Monica in July of 1998.
