February 03 – 19, 2012
Fri-Sat 7:00pm, Sun 3:00pm
A season full of ghosts and high spirits continues with Noel Coward’s classic British farce. Gathering information for his next book, novelist and socialite Charles Condomine hires the eccentric psychic Madame Arcati to conduct a séance. After inadvertently summoning the ghost of his dead wife, Charles must defend his new (and living) wife from this vengeful and hot-tempered spirit. Watch the jealousies fly in one of theatre’s most notorious cat-fights, complete with the sophisticated humor of one of Britain’s wittiest playwrights!
