Blithe Spirit

For director Alan Chambers the October 2008 slot gave the chance to return to a much-loved author, namely Noel Coward. Blithe Spirit takes place in the living room of Charles Condomine’s house in Kent. The staging for this setting was provided by the combined efforts of many Ratae members and friends to build the set and with the particular efforts of Malcolm Wardle to decorate it so effectively. The lighting designed by Mark Baxter was also especially effective, with contrasting atmospheres for the seance and also for the ghostly appearances of Charles’ first wife Elvira.
