Blithe Spirit

by Noel Coward

An Amateur Production BY ARRANGEMENT WITH ORiGiN™ THEATRICAL, ON BEHALF OF SAMUEL FRENCH, LTD

 

Directed by Cate Cunningham

 

April 14th - May 7th

 

Charles Condomine a popular novelist, lives a simple country life with his second wife, Ruth. Searching for inspiration for his newest novel, they invite Madame Arcti and their closest friends, round for a séance. Instead of conjuring up a random ghoul for the night however, Madame Arcati manages to accidentally bring back Charles' first wife Elvira, who died seven years previously of a heart attack while laughing at a BBC Light Program on the radio. Elvira attempts to disrupt his marriage to Ruth, who cannot see or hear the ghost. Exploring themes of deception, love, loyalty, and the complex legacy of past relationships, Blithe Spirit is one of Coward’s most acclaimed plays.

     I had never seen "Blythe Spirit" before and knew nothing more than it was a Noel Coward play. It was a very enjoyable surprise. The acting was excellent, stagecraft also, and the ending - to one uninitiated - a surprise. The team's interval hospitality is always an added bonus to Chester Street productions. My only other comment would be that the lady who played the medium carried off her accent so well that I (perhaps only I) found her sometimes difficult to underst

 Blithe Spirit directed by Cate Cunningham was really enjoyable! Loved Maddie as Eliva and Fabiola as the maid. Loved the story towards the end when we suddenly now have 2 bickering ghosts! (Btw, it took me a while to figure out what happened!) The tech crew/set build was magnificent! Lots of tech effects!

How did you like the event?

 My 4 friends and I all enjoyed seeing this play. 3 of us also saw it last year, presented by the STC with Courtney Act, but this version was just as entertaining and was well-cast. I'd forgotten the play was long and I must remember to bring a cushion to sit on next time. The special effects worked well and the ending, especially when the ghosts wreck the room (reminded me of The Play that Goes Wrong and Noises Off)

How did you like the event?

   Blithe spirit is a classic Noel Coward play. The wit trips off the script so quickly you barely finish one joke before the next one flies out. In particular Christine rule embraced eccentricity and spontaneity as Madame Arcati. Even though her Scottish accent fell somewhere in between Inverness and Cork, it only added to her hypnotic peculiarity. Kate Mannix's performance as Mrs. Bradman captured the stylised performance and fluttery femininity of a bygone age.
