Three Plays: Blithe Spirit / Hay Fever / Private Lives
A Plays, Drama, Humor book. I have seen Blithe Spirit several times and it is...
Filled with languid aristocrats trading witticisms as they wait for martinis, this collection of three Noel Coward plays encapsulates the qualities that made him one of the most popular playwrights of the 1930s and '40s and one of the great personalities of the century. In Blithe Spirit, Charles Condomine receives a visit from his first wife, Elvira. Unfortunately, Elvira is now a ghost and Charles has, understandably, moved on and married Ruth. The bohemian protagonists of Hay Fever wreak emotional havoc on a house full of weekend visitors. In Private Lives, a recently divorced couple find themselves in adjoining hotel rooms while on honeymoon with their new spouses.

More About Three Plays: Blithe Spirit / Hay Fever / Private Lives
I have seen Blithe Spirit several times and it is a wonderful play, very funny and extremely clever. I have also used this play for a Play Reading as part of a drama group, it was a delight to take part in it with a group of my friends. The book also includes Hay Fever and Private Lives. Both plays are very silly and many times I was... I just saw Private Lives in London! Terrific play and one of his best. I was just reminded of why his plays live on and always seem fresh while set in a different period. So witty and true. Love Blithe Spirit too. I really enjoyed the first two plays in this volume, although found "Private Lives" too brittle. They must be wonderful on stage. Noel Coward is perhaps more well known for his image rather than his works, but these plays all read as classics.
