originally published: 08/28/2014 (Cape May, NJ) -- Cape May Stage brings you a hauntingly entertaining night with Noel Coward's Blithe Spirit. Filled with the eccentric characters and witty dialogue known as Coward's trademark, this clever comedy will have you dying for more. It all starts when novelist Charles Condomine decides to host a séance as research for his next novel and the ghost of his ex-wife returns from beyond. She's none too pleased to find her husband happily re-married and goes about trying to spook his new wife away.

Now, get the opportunity to see the show that audiences are calling “oustanding” for an outstandingly good deal. On Tuesday, September 2, Cape May Stage is proud to offer a special ‘pay what you wish' performance of Blithe Spirit. At 7:45 p.m., any unsold tickets will be offered on a first-come first-serve basis for the pay-what-you-wish special. These tickets are cash only and advance reservations for pay-what-you-wish tickets are not available.

Also get the chance to hear more about the behind the scenes process with a special post-performance talk back on Friday, September 12. Immediately after the show, director Roy Steinberg and the cast will talk about Coward's work and the process of bringing such a ghostly production to life. This event is free and open to the public – all are welcome!
