sides from the script will be provided.Actors will be asked to read scenes
from the play.Synopsis:Novelist Charles Condomine and his wife Ruth invite
the eccentric medium and clairvoyant, Madame Arcati, to their home to
conduct a séance, hoping to gather material for his next book. But the
scheme backfires when the ghost of his annoying and temperamental first
wife Elvira appears--visible only to Charles. Elvira makes continual
attempts to disrupt Charles's marriage to Ruth, while Madame Arcati tries
fruitlessly to make the spirit disappear. Coward’s 1941 classic bubbles
with wit and “spirited” fun.Cast Breakdown*All roles require an English
accent.**Charles Condomine* – 40s-early 50s. Successful novelist; fussy,
self-satisfied, sardonic.*Ruth Condomine *– late 30s-40s. Charles’ second
wife. Charming and reasonably tolerant of her husband’s demands.*Elvira* –
late 30s-early 40s. Charles’ first wife, now deceased. Impossibly
glamorous, spoiled, willful and determined.*Mme. Arcati *– late middle age.
A flamboyant, eccentric local medium.*Edith *– any age. A maid; more
complicated than she might at first appear.*Dr. George Bradman* – late
middle age. A close friend of the Condomine’s. Pleasant, supportive, and
good company.*Mrs. Bradman* – late middle age. A perfectly nice womanProduction
