Melody Allsorts of Downham Market bringing ‘few spooky laughs’ to Methodist church for performances of ‘Blithe Spirit’

Looking for something a bit different to enjoy on Easter weekend? Why not go along to Downham Methodist Church to enjoy a few spooky laughs?

Melody Allsorts of Downham (MAD'S) is staging the comedy ‘Blithe Spirit’, one of Noel Coward’s best-known plays, from Friday, April 18 to Sunday, April 20.

Novelist Charles Condomine, married to his second wife Ruth, becomes haunted by the ghost of his first wife Elvira, who has been conjured up by the eccentric medium Madame Arcati.

When Ruth is killed in an accident, she ‘passes over’ and joins Elvira in haunting the hapless Charles, driving him to drink. There are many laughs along the way.

“The cast is made up of both old and new members of MADS, all of whom are rehearsing hard,” a spokesperson said.

“Please come along and support your local community drama group.”

Tickets, priced at £8, are available from either No 8 The Old Bookshop in Downham or online from www.ticketsource.co.uk/melody-allsorts-of-downham

Meanwhile, MAD’s will also perform - for one-night only - an adult panto ‘Sinderella’ at Downham Town Hall on May 30 in association with Downham Market Festival.

Tickets are available from TicketSource.
