Blithe Spirit
Othello
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Sam Williams
By Noel Coward
Directed by Nancy Silva
When the ghost of novelist Charles Condomine’s dead wife is
unleashed on his household by a wacky clairvoyant who then
can’t get rid of her, he must struggle to meet the demands of all
wives, both dead and alive. The ghost of his “morally untidy”
first wife, Elvira, turns Charles’s staid marriage to the priggish
Ruth into a prickly ménage à trois. Noel Coward’s comedy is
filled with plenty of laughs, and was one of the longest running
comedies in London.
One of Shakespeare’s four great
tragedies, this play explores the
fine line between Othello’s passionate love and dangerous jealousy,
while tangling with issues of race,
gender, sex, marriage, hate,
manipulation, and identity!
