This delightful play is the winner of more than forty awards. Handsome young Philip Grant is dazed when he awakens in a cemetery and finds his name on a headstone. He cheers up enormously, however, when a winsome Hepsibah rises from her grave to join him. When Hepsibah's old husband Henry and his second wife, Jane, turn up, the comedy reaches a terrifically funny conclusion.
