“iGhost” The Lyric Theatre
Directed by Jules Aaron 2011
A 21st Century updating of Oscar Wilde’s The Canterville Ghost, iGhost transports Idaho art student Virginia to an English castle haunted by the ghost of a certain Sir Simon and managed by his bookish young heir Trevor. In the course of iGhost’s two acts, Virginia learns the reason for Sir Simon’s spectral occupancy of Canterville Chase (his artist wife Lucinda placed a curse on him, blaming her husband for the fall which caused her death), realizes that Trevor is far more than a fuddy-duddyish stuffed shirt, and vows to solve the riddle which can save Sir Simon from eternal confinement inside the walls of Canterville Chase, i.e. a fate worse than death.
