Come see Blithe Spirit at The Heights Players, directed by Michelle Maccarone.
One husband, two wives, and a séance gone awry – when exes return from beyond, chaos takes center stage.
​
A smash comedy hit in London and New York, this much-revived classic from the playwright of Private Lives concerns fussy, cantankerous novelist Charles Condomine, who has remarried but finds himself haunted (literally) by the ghost of his late first wife, Elvira. Clever, insistent and well aware of Charles’ shortcomings, Elvira is called up by a visiting “happy medium,” the eccentric and flighty Madame Arcati. As everyone’s personalities clash, Charles’ current wife, Ruth, is accidentally killed. She “passes over” and joins Elvira, allowing the two “blithe spirits” to haunt the hapless Charles into perpetuity.
​
For this production, audience members are encouraged to enter “The Society for Psychical Research” prior to the beginning of the show. There you will find automatic writing, ouija boards, spirit photography, and society members excited to share with you their findings of the “Other Side.”
Interactive, environmental pre shows begin 1 hour prior to performances!
