The Greenwood Players Theatre Group is busy rehearsing their spring production of Noel Coward’s “Blithe Spirit,” which Coward describes as “an improbable farce.”
The play concerns the 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 first wife, Elvira, after the seance. Elvira makes continuous attempts to disrupt Charles’ marriage to his second wife, Ruth, who cannot see or hear the ghost.
The play runs on the Players’ Morfee Centre stage, School Road, Greenwood; May 14 through 18, with curtains up at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $5 per person. To book, contact Rene Cottreau, 902-824-2435 or rendoucot@gmail.com, or Jeff Pocock, 902-824-5715 or jeeveseyjeff@gmail.com.
