Margulies' Jewish Blithe Spirit is full of surprises. Opening at the end of shiva, the play is the story of grief-stricken dry-cleaner Mort, whose wife, Shirley, died the week before, after choking on a tough piece of moo shoo pork. His all-too-loving but increasingly less supportive family is telling him it’s time to get on with his life. Once Mort is left alone with his teenage son, Artie, the play begins to take its odd turns and continues to take every unexpected path imaginable. One of Margulies’ early plays, it is one of boldness and beauty from a playwright who has earned his position as one of the very best to emerge in our theatre.
