RC Players is thrilled to present Noël Coward’s Blithe Spirit as this semester’s full-length production.
Blithe Spirit is a farcical play that follows Charles Condomine, a novelist who invites a medium to his home in order to gather information for his latest novel. However, this quickly backfires: as a result of the encounter, Charles finds himself haunted by his mischievous first wife, Elvira. Throughout the play, Elvira does her best to undermine Charles’s relationship with his current wife Ruth, who cannot see or hear her. Hijinks ensue, and Charles must rely on the eccentric Madame Arcati to help the spirits pass on. The play looks at marriage, gender roles, and dealing with past mistakes, all with a supernatural twist.
Performances will take place in the Keene Theater, located in the basement of East Quadrangle, Friday March 16 and Saturday March 17 at 8 p.m.
Admission is pay what you can, which can mean FREE!
