Cape Ann Theatre Collaborative presents “Blithe Spirit”
Martini and Séance anyone? Blithe Spirit tells the story of
novelist Charles Condomine, a suave & dapper charmer,
who contacts the lovable & outlandish medium Madame Arcati,
to conduct a séance, as he needs material for his new book “The Unseen.”
As a result of the séance, Charles gets more than he bargained for,
when his deceased first wife, the ‘morally untidy’ Elvira, returns from the dead
to make mischief & create havoc with Charles & his rather staid,
& boring marriage to his second wife, the uptight & domineering Ruth.
What follows is a madcap, wildly frolicsome adventure,
full of aristocratic banter and brittleness, & a prickly menage a trois.
Of course, Blithe Spirit enchants not only because of the otherworldly plot,
but the playwright’s diamond-sharp wit.
