For me Dada feels to be the best fit for this play. It's comical, unpredictable and doesn't center around one major character rather four. Dada has a lot of overlapping which fits with the play in the sense characters are almost tripping over one another, sometimes on purpose for a laugh. It's wild and uncontrollable towards the end of the play and Dada fits the bill when it comes to having a chaotic unorganized look to it.
Blithe Spirit, by Noël Coward, directed by Tom Sainsbury
This Noël Coward comedy classic tells the story of suave novelist Charles Condomine and his second wife, Ruth. They invite local medium, Madam Arcati, to conduct a séance to inspire him for his next novel. The evening doesn't go as planned, and the sceptical Charles is reunited with the ghost of his first wife, Elvira. Only he can see Elvira and she doesn't take kindly to Ruth having usurped her. Attempts by Madame Arcati fail to return her to the “other world”, and Elvira’s spirit transforms the lives of Charles and Ruth forever.
