Performers’ Company Announces a Chilling Comedy

The Performers’ Company, Sackville’s popular community theatre group will present, as its second production of 2010, the ever-popular comedy Blithe Spirit. Performances are scheduled to take place a the Marshlands Inn in their beautiful double parlours, November 3-7, 2010.

This is our second performance at the Marshlands Inn following sold-out performances of The Importance of Being Earnest in 2007. During intermission the restaurant and bar of the Inn will be open for dessert and beverages by order, "Dessert Theatre” at it’s best.

Blithe Spirit is a comic play written by Noël Coward. The play concerns socialite and 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 annoying and temperamental first wife, Elvira, following the séance. Elvira makes continual attempts to disrupt Charles's marriage to his second wife, Ruth, who cannot see or hear the ghost.
