The Ceremony is the first play written (or at least the
first to be performed) by Catherine Tyldesley, who is best-known for playing
Eva in Coronation Street and for her performance on Strictly Come
Dancing.
The play focuses on Donna, a
successful life coach who decides to hold a séance. The idea seems to be that her
guests can contact ghosts and lay their own ghosts to rest at the same time. To
begin with, it’s a comedy with fast dialogue and quips. Later, there are some
quite emotional moments as the characters reveal the source of their pain.
