  • Address: 1285 Elmwood Avenue, Buffalo, NY 14222

Blithe Spirit

Our friend Mr. Coward is back this season, and this time he’s got ghosts up his sleeve.  Indeed, the situation at the heart of this mannered comedy is a fine one — an ill-conceived cocktail party séance brings one man’s ex back from the dead. She’s funny, needy and manipulative, and not necessarily in that order.  This might be less of a problem if our man’s flesh-and-blood wife weren’t already a bit on the jealous side (can you say &ldqu...
