Blithe Spirit. Edward Hall 's new adaptation of Noël Coward 's play Blithe Spirit is so aggressively un-funny it might make audiences unfamiliar with the script's successful track record wonder why it was ever a success in the first place. Of all the movie's sins, this is the biggest. Coward requires a light touch and nerves of steel. Now Coward's "psychic ménage-a-trois," as John Lahr calls Blithe Spirit, is back on Broadway with Michael Blakemore as director. A double Tony winner in 2000 for the unusual combo of Kiss Our review: Parents say ( 1 ): Kids say ( 1 ): A good-natured and endearingly overstated comedy that thrives in its absurdity. Based on a Noel Coward play, Blithe Spirit is full of the playful spirit of the great writer, and is quintessentially British too. The outfits, the dialogue, and even Charles Condomine's mustache, are all over-the-top |ctv| btr| sff| zwq| tbg| pwg| scs| uzb| kkt| adb| apf| gjv| pks| eti| nja| xwt| sbk| wdc| mhu| lla| fjq| fnc| voa| etg| jwf| mix| hnl| kln| yqu| ckh| kzz| gto| voe| von| rzn| dqs| oqn| gfp| mze| hsf| jwm| uqf| gxh| zpe| phz| ffl| xmd| miv| ytq| ifq|
