When socialite novelist Charles Condomine invites the eccentric medium Madame Arcati to conduct a séance at his home, he’s merely searching for quirky material for his next book. But the ritual proves unexpectedly potent: Charles ends up haunted by the glamorous ghost of his first wife, Elvira, much to the sheer fury of his very-much-alive second wife, Ruth.
While traditional stagings center on Charles trying to manage the chaos, director John Bacon recognized a different narrative waiting to be told:
“After reading it several times and watching different productions, I came to realize the real story is not about Charles, the husband,” director John Bacon shares. “It is really about the women who he has overlooked, put down, and made to feel small for his own vanity. Our production is about what happens when they stop accepting that, and start owning who they really are. We are all brilliant, beautiful beings. We just need to find our light and stand in it unapologetically.”
Audiences can look forward to razor-sharp dialogue, brilliant physical comedy, and dynamic stage chemistry, including a standout breakfast scene between Ruth and Charles that will feel hilariously and uncomfortably familiar to anyone who’s ever had a domestic spat.
Far from a simple battle of egos, this production celebrates liberation, self-worth, and laughing in the face of the unexpected.
