Synopsis A shadow (or perhaps it should be a shade?) falls upon the household of Charles Condomine, well-to-do writer, and his wife Ruth after a local medium, Madame Arcati, is invited to hold a seance. Charles is actually a sceptic in matters ofthe spirit world. He is in fact researching for his nextbook " The unseen" and asks his neighbours, the Bradmans, to assist him in his bid for inside information. Although the Condomine's invited guests all leave amused, but unimpressed, one very unex�pected visitor remains behind. But we must let the actors continue this story and we hope that you enjoy Noel Coward's entertaining play as so many audiences have done before.
