Spirited Is a new Canadian comedy written by Lois Gordon especially for the Classics Company. The Story. Nine very different, spirited women have enjoyed a weekend away with each other for 35 years. But this year, there’s something new added to the mix…a charming ghost. In time-honoured tradition, these friends meet annually for a weekend of nostalgia, girl talk and high spirits. But when one of them suffers a minor meltdown, they are forced to face some truths about their friendship – and their lives. Enter Pierre, a wise spirit from the world beyond who shares insights that could change lives forever.
Spirited is a heart-warming, friends-forever comedy that touches on well-being, aging, and the special relationships that women have. And, for good measure, it shares a secret for true happiness!
