In Noel Coward's classic farce of manners and spectral meddling, cantankerous novelist Charles (Louie Gallo) has remarried but finds himself haunted (literally) by the ghost of his late first wife, Elvira (Cindy Ruff), when an eccentric and flighty medium (Madeline Golden) unexpectedly calls her from the spirit realm. Personalities clash and spectral antics ensue as Elvira makes continual attempts to disrupt Charles's marriage to his second wife, Ruth (Chakira Clark), who cannot see or hear the ghost.
