Avg. Event Rating (3.0 Stars): Add Review/Comment

One man, two wives and a psychic in a tangled web of spirits, séances and sophistry. A smash comedy hit of the London and Broadway stages, this ingenious plot tells how Novelist Charles Condomine invites an eccentric medium, Madame Arcati, to his home in order to learn the language of the occult. Little does Charles or his lovely second wife, Ruth, dream that the séance staged by the medium will summon back Charles' first wife, Elvira, now 'passed over' for seven years. Things take an unexpected turn and suddenly it's one man, two ghosts and a psychic. How Charles manages to extricate himself from these two very blithe spirits makes a hilarious conclusion to this very unusual farce. Directed by Mark-Alan C. Clemente. For all ages.

    The play was funny in parts and some of the actors were quite good and entertaining, but the play was about 1 hour too long. I don't know if they could have cut anything out, but I was ready to leave after the intermission as the story went on and on and on... It started at 7:30 but didn't end until around 10:00, which is quite long if you are sitting in the cafe chairs/tables. Collapse
