Staff Report-
NOTRE DAME - The University of Notre Dame's Department of Film, Television, and Theatre will present "Blithe Spirit" by Noel Coward, a 2009-2010 theater season production.
Directed by Jay Paul Skelton, Charles and his charming second wife, Ruth, live comfortably in the country, but all of that is about to change. Charles plans an amusing evening with the Bradmans by inviting Madame Arcati, a medium, to their home to hold a séance. The event turns into a nightmare of hilarity, however, when a very jealous Elvira, Charles's first wife, returns from the hereafter and attempts to take matters into her own ethereal hands. Noel Coward's "improbable farce in three acts," Blithe Spirit (1941) takes the audience on a journey through this world and the next in one of the theater's most enduring comedy classics.
Performances are from April 13 through April 17 at 7:30 p.m., and April 18 at 2:30 p.m. in the Decio Mainstage Theatre of the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center.Tickets are $15 for general admission, $12 for faculty, staff and seniors, and $10 for all students. The tickets are available by calling the ticket office at 574-631-2800, or by purchasing them online at performingarts.nd.edu
