1-/23 - 11/2 - “Blithe Spirit”, the smash comedy hit of the London and Broadway stage comes to Riverwalk Theatre (October 23-26 and October 30-November 2). This much-revived Noel Coward classic play concerns the socialite and novelist Charles Condomine (Greg Pratt); his late first wife, the clever and insistent Elvira (Sarah Hauck); and Madame Arcati (Erin Hoffman), the eccentric and clairvoyant ‘happy medium’ enlisted by Condomine to ‘call up’ new material for his book. But when his current wife, Ruth (Lynn Culp), friends Dr. and Mrs. Bradman (John Liskey and Jacqueline Payne), and the always hustling maid Edith (Chanae Houska) enter the picture, things quickly spiral out of control. As these worldly personalities clash, Charles’ gets a lot more material than he bargained for. With one husband, two feuding wives and a whisper of mischief in the air – who will win in this unworldly comedy?
Blithe Spirit was first seen in 1941, and has enjoyed several revivals. It most recently had a successful run on Broadway with Angela Lansbury. Award winning director Susan Chmurynsky has once again selected a ‘chestnut’ of a production. She makes no secret of having a reverence for the classic scripts. “It’s a great Noel Coward script and it’s often revived for a reason – it’s a great character play that has stood the test of time,” says Chmurynsky.
Dates: October 23-26 and October 30- November 3, 2014.
Times: Thursdays at 7 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m., Sundays at 2 p.m.
Ticket Prices: $15 regular price, $12 for seniors 55+ or students
Bargain Thursdays $10 regular price and $8 for seniors & students.
