Blithe Spirit – Meet the Cast – Elvira (Mollie McClelland Morris)
Elvira is such a fun character to play. She’s been played by many different actors, including Joanna Lumley and Twiggy! I feel honoured to have the opportunity.
She is flirty, quick-witted, sharp-tongued, cunning, playful, fickle and so much more. I’ve been inspired by a number of people from history including Wallis Simpson and from pop culture like Amy Winehouse to get a feel for her. Norma Shearer and Hedy Lamar are my style icons for Elvira. What a firecracker she is, I come home from rehearsals feeling sparky. So much so that sometimes it’s difficult to get to sleep.
