Blithe Spirit Ad in the Times Today

Posted: 1/11/09 at 12:06pm

So Blithe Spirit took out a full page ad in the Arts & Leisure section in today's Sunday Times, and it looked great- with one strange caveat.

Above the title were Jayne Atkinson, Christine Ebersole, Angela Lansbury and Rupert Everett.

Below the title were Simon Jones, Deborah Rush and....

"Funny Actress*"

That asterisk indicated a note below that said "Funny Actress to be Cast be Mr. Blakemore."

Just thought that was a bit cheeky and fun, and that you guys would appreciate it...

I hate the illustration.

didn't they do something similar in the revival of The Boys of Syracuse when they had a famous actress reveal that she was the mother at the end? can't remember who they had but everyone on the audience gasped.

<--- the set of A Midsummer Night's Dream that I was assistant stage manager for during the 2007 season at the STNJ outdoor stage.

Considering so many factors, I still wanted to know if there' an answer to this question... How long could/will this production run for? And would we be able to ever get information as to how long the contracts are for the original cast once it opens?

It's on sale for 20 weeks from February 26 to July 19.

Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.
