    Such a fun short play that pits sister against sister and realm against realm - with an ironically unsuspecting, third-party, psychic caught in the middle. And a perfect, pregnant ending, too, to button it all up!

    This is the kind of lighthearted comedy with slightly dark overtones that were very common in another era but less so today. I don’t think it’s because audiences like them less; rather, they may take more effort to write to get the tone and cadence right. I really enjoyed it!

    Part “Blithe Spirit,” part Whoopi Goldberg in “Ghost,” this little slice of fun and frolic pits two sisters against each other from across the afterlife. The laughs come fast and furious, and the characters are rich and vibrant. This recipe calls for some seriously silly fun and serves it up with a cup of tea >wink<.
