Roles
| Role | M/F | Age | Description | Charles Condomine | M | 35-50 | Description: 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. | Ruth Condomine | F | 30-45 | Description: 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. | Elvira Condomine | F | 25-40 | Description: 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. | Madame Arcati | F | 50-70 | Description: 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. | Dr. George Bradman | M | 40-60 | Description: 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. | Mrs. Violet Bradman | F | 35-55 | Description: 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. | Edith | F | 18-30 | Description: 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. |
