7 roles
A charming, witty, and somewhat cynical novelist. He is married to his second wife, Ruth, and invites a medium to conduct a séance as research for his new book. However, he inadvertently summons the ghost of his first wife, Elvira, leading to comedic and supernatural turmoil. British dialect required.
Charles's second wife, practical, sophisticated, and no-nonsense. She is initially skeptical of the supernatural but becomes increasingly frustrated and jealous when Elvira returns to haunt Charles. British dialect required.
The ghost of Charles’s first wife, mischievous, flirtatious, and dramatic. She enjoys causing trouble and attempts to reclaim Charles for herself from beyond the grave. Appears youthful and ethereal as a ghost. British dialect required.
An eccentric and enthusiastic medium who conducts the séance. She is somewhat dotty but deeply committed to her craft, unaware of how much havoc her powers can create. Often a scene-stealer with her grand mannerisms and oddball personality. British dialect required.
A local doctor, rational and skeptical about the supernatural. He attends the séance mostly out of curiosity but remains unconvinced about its legitimacy. British dialect required.
Dr. Bradman’s wife, pleasant, friendly, and slightly gullible. She is excited about the séance and more willing than her husband to entertain the idea of spirits. British dialect required.
The Condomines’ nervous and excitable maid. She is eager to please, often flustered, and plays a crucial part in the resolution of the play. Cockney accent required.
