Coward’s favorite 1941 comedy tells the story of Charles Condomine, a novelist who
invites local medium Madame Arcati over to hold a séance in hopes of collecting
material for his next book. Things go haywire when the eccentric mystic accidentally
conjures up Charles’s dead wife Elvira. Elvira decides she wants Charles back, causing
a battle of will and wits with Charles’s living second wife, Ruth. Charles and Ruth
hold another seance to try to get rid of Elvira, but this ends in tragedy... Throw
in their doctor and his wife as well as a dippy half-witted maid, and you have the
ingredients for a wacky and witty show.

Directed by Jeff Nicolai
The play is the story of the eccentric Brewster family of Brooklyn, N.Y. In addition
to the scheming old women who poison their victims with elderberry wine, the family
includes Teddy, who suffers delusions that he is Theodore Roosevelt and that the
Panama Canal runs through the cellar of his home. The locks he digs become convenient
graves for the lonely men who fall victims to Aunt Martha and Aunt Abby’s machinations.
When their nephew Mortimer discovers a body under the window seat of his aunts’
home, however, the elderly women ‘fess up to their deeds matter-of-factly and the
events of the play become more absurd right up to a surprise ending.
