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 DatesMay 19-21, 2017 (Fri-Sun)
Four performances at Steamer No. 10 Theatre
