Blithe Spirit
A play by Noël Coward
The Committee has concluded its deliberations and has settled on Blithe Spirit by Noël Coward as the DADS November 2008 production.
Charles Condomine, a novelist, and his wife, Ruth, have invited their friends Dr and Mrs Bradman to join them for drinks and dinner with a local clairvoyant, Madame Arcati. Charles is planning a novel about a homicidal spiritualist and wants to observe the behaviour of Madame Arcati during a séance after dinner. The Bradmans arrive, and the four friends discuss Madame Arcati, sure that she will be just a harmless fraud. They are interrupted when Madame Arcati arrives, dinner is served, and the séance begins. Much to the surprise of the two couples, there are supernatural manifestations... the table trembles, Madame Arcati falls into a trance, and Charles hears the voice of Elvira, his first wife, whom he loved dearly but who died several years ago. Frightened, he wakes Madame Arcati, and the party breaks up. That seems to be the end of the disturbances... or is it...
The play will be directed by Tora Bray
and produced by Louise Enticknap.
