About the Show:
An improbable farce in three acts. The play concerns the socialite and novelist Charles Condomine, who invites the eccentric medium and clairvoyant Madame Arcati to his house to conduct a séance, hoping to gather material for his next book. The scheme backfires when he is haunted by the ghost of his wilful and temperamental first wife, Elvira, after the séance. Elvira makes continual attempts to disrupt Charles's marriage to his second wife, Ruth, who cannot see or hear the ghost.
Character Breakdown:
CHARLES CONDOMINE (30+): A bright, sophisticated, articulate novelist. Charles is filled with high energy, passion, and cutting wit. The husband of Ruth.
RUTH CONDOMINE (30+): A practical, no-nonsense, blunt second wife of Charles. She is an impeccable hostess with high standards.
ELVIRA (25+): The 'Blithe Spirit' of the title, Elvira is delightful, carefree, and fun. She is also morally questionable, manipulative, and petulant. She has an ethereal quality.
MADAME ARCATI (40+): A wildly eccentric, robust, boisterous spiritualist and medium. Madame Arcati conducts the seance in Charles' home to bring Elvira back from beyond.
DR. GEORGE BRADMAN (30+): A stuffy doctor who can be seriously boring about his medical research. A sarcastic skeptic of the occult, but plays along in good fun.
VIOLET BRADMAN (30+): Simple and naive. Violet is quite excited about the seance and the prospect of the beyond. Dr. Bradman's quaint and polite wife.
EDITH (20+): The Condomine's new maid. Edith is constantly nervous and tears around the house at breakneck speed to try and impress her new employers. Naive and quite pure.
All roles are open to performers of all races, ethnicities, gender identities, and abilities. We strongly encourage actors from underrepresented backgrounds to audition.
