Blithe Spirit: As Dry and Delicious As a Good Martini

Blithe Spirit, is camp and farcical out of the box but the Sydney Theatre Company (STC) has somehow managed to turn the dial a few more notches. Their new mounting of the play, now on at the Sydney Opera House, retains all of the original charm while also feeling fresh, modern and just a little bit cheeky.The main character, Charles Condomine, is a vain and self-indulgent writer.
Coward, knowingly or otherwise, has reflected some of himself in the character. After finishing his play he reportedly said:“…disdaining archness and false modesty, I will admit that I knew it was witty, I knew it was well constructed, and I also knew that it would be a success.”And he was right.This STC production is a visual feast filled with hidden Easter eggs.
David Fleischer’s set is a panoramic of a self-contained 1930s interior. Panning from far left is a fireplace, a small library, a lounge room with lush russet settee and wood-framed moss-green armchair, a round, wooden ornamental table, walnut baby grand piano, then double glass doors at the side, presumedly leading out to the patio. At the back wall is a credenza furnished with a portable record player and other period knick-knacks.Matt Day is perfectly cast as Condomine.
Day has the look and feel of an old-timey British actor, with very good comic timing and the right amount of smugness. He is convincing as the pickle in the wife sandwich breaded by his current living spouse and erstwhile deceased spouse.Courtney Act, in her much-heralded thespian debut, plays the pivotal role of Elvira, Condomine’s first wife who is conjured back to the real world by a medium.
