Blithe Spirit

Our next production

‘BLITHE SPIRIT’
by Noel Coward, directed by Mavis Jones,
at the Ariel Centre, Totnes

If you happen to be driving past the Playstation, searching in vain for a train at the now somewhat ghostly Totnes Station, you may become aware of strange subdued moaning, boards creaking, a sudden gust of cold wind, or even an ectoplasmic manifestation. Worry not. It is the cast and crew of ‘Blithe Spirit’ working hard to do justice to Noel Coward’s wonderfully funny play. Don’t miss it!

Charles and Ruth Condomine hold a séance with Madame Arcati in which Elvira, Charles’ first wife, materialises. Also present are Dr and Mrs Bradman. No-one (in the cast) can see Elvira except Charles. She is hell-bent on getting Charles to join her in the spirit world. Accidents occur, including one to the maid, Edith. But it is Ruth who “dies”, not Charles, and the two jealous ghosts squabble until Madame Arcati finally disembodies them, but she doesn’t get rid of them altogether.

Wednesday April 9th - Saturday 12th April at 7.30 pm.
Matinee at 2.30 pm on Saturday 12th April.
