Comic Farce

Director: Shelly Wawrzonek
The
smash comedy hit of the London and Broadway
stages, this much-revived classic from
the playwright of Private Lives
offers up fussy, cantankerous novelist,
Charles Condomine, re-married but haunted
(literally) by the ghost of his late first
wife, the clever and insistent Elvira
who is called up by a visiting "happy
medium," one Madame Arcati. As the
worldly and un-worldly personalities clash,
Charles' current wife, Ruth, is accidentally
killed, "passes over," joins
Elvira and the two "blithe spirits"
haunt the hapless Charles into perpetuity.
