A couple of
weeks ago we watched the play call “The spirit of Harry Houdini”. Personally, I
found the plot rather predictable, it is about a widow woman who had been
trying to contact with her deceased husband (a magician) for 10 years. In order
to fulfill her purpose she called the medium Arthur Ford. During the
spiritualistic session many mishaps took place therefore they raise doubts on
Arthur Ford’s truthfulness and also on the woman’s honesty. Eventually, the
medium turned out to be a deceiving.
One particular
strength of the play is the acting, it is quite convincing. The woman gives a
compelling performance as Bess Houdini (the widow woman). The medium provides a
revealing insight into the tension created in the atmosphere. Moreover the
soundtrack was gloomy (according to the atmosphere).
I would highly
recommend it to anyone interested in magic or spiritualist, however, it keeps
you attentive even if you are not interested in the topic so it is a definite
must-see.
