This light hearted 50’s comedy, written by John Van Druten, directed by Rosemary Summers, is about what happens when a “witch” in New York makes a lover of a very conventional man and then has to face the consequences when she really falls in love with him. (The TV Show Bewitched was based on this play!) Gillian Holroyd, played by CCP President Colleen Bunn, becomes interested in her upstairs neighbor and tenant and hexes him into falling in love with her. Shep Henderson (Andrew Munro), her quarry, is mystified, delighted, and completely unaware that other worldly forces are at work. Despite the oddness of Gillian’s aunt, an endearingly addled old witch (Laurie Wehmeyer), and brother, a fun-loving warlock, (Mark Murphy), Shep is oblivious. He only knows that his life changed when he crossed over Gillian’s threshold. When she realizes that she is falling in love herself, Gillian faces a dilemma: she will lose her considerable powers if she acts on her feelings. Will love prevail?
BELL, BOOK AND CANDLE is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Dramatists Play Service. (www.concordtheatricals.com)
