Laughter brightens fall production by Island Stage Left Players through November
Weekends, Nov. 3 through Dec. 4 in Friday Harbor
By Helen Marchin-Smith
It’s time to mark your calendars for a good laugh! Island Stage Left presents its fall play opening Friday, November 3 and running through December 4 at the County Fairgrounds.
Following the example of Noel Coward himself who lightened the spirits of his fellow Englishmen in a time of national despondency and international war, now seems an appropriate time to reprise the classic comedy, and one of his greatest successes, “Blithe Spirit”!
Novelist Charles Condomine, living peacefully with his second wife, Ruth, invites a local medium, Madame Arcati, to his house, with the intention of doing some research into the spirit world for his new book.
But he gets more than he bargained for when Arcati conjures up the ghost of Charles’ first wife, Elvira. Caught between one live wife and one dead one — both jealous for his attention — Charles’ life becomes considerably more complicated than he ever imagined!
Joan Benney, Krista Strutz, Daniel Mayes and Deb Langhans head the cast for this farcical romp through the polite world of 1930’s England.
