By Noël Coward
Directed by Tabitha Gibb

Charles Condomine is a successful novelist, devilishly witty, and rich to boot. He and his dear wife, Ruth, seem to have it all. However, his past comes back to haunt him (literally) when he invites a medium to host a séance in his home as research for a new book. He is shocked to find his first wife, Elvira, summoned from the dead – and, to make things more awkward, he is the only one who can see her. 

Noël Coward’s 1941 supernatural comedy is a classic, originally running in London’s West End for a staggering 1,997 performances. Come and join us in the Condomine’s home, where you will have front row seats to salacious arguments, botched exorcisms, and outrageous domestic drama.
