What I liked

One interesting aspect is that ghost’s earthbound afterlife exile is mostly self-imposed – a decision to remain behind until she can experience things not allowed during her lifetime.

What I didn't like

Having flipped the script from comedy to tragedy, the play then tags on a happy ending – which was probably the right decision, but as rendered here it feels a little too easy, not quite fully earned.

My overall impression

An amusing depiction of living with an invisible roommate who can’t share expenses and won’t share her friend.
