What's on in Beijing (Dec 16-22)

Adapted version of Coward's comic play

Blithe Spirit, a comic play by English playwright and director Noel Coward, has been adapted by Chinese director Zou Shuang into a Chinese drama with the same title.

The play tells the story of novelist Charles and his second wife, Ruth, who are haunted by the spirit of his first wife, Elvira. Madame Arcati, an eccentric medium, tries to help them by contacting the ghost.

Written in 1941, Blithe Spirit remained the longest-running comedy in British theater for three decades.
