Thomas Ott’s comedy WINE AND SPIRITS takes place over the course of one evening as sisters Beth (Christine Seisler), Kate (Zoe Anastassiou) and Selina (Carla Briscoe) visit their childhood home. With their mother, Felicia (Carolyn Seiff) looking on, the sisters bicker, push buttons, revisit the past, and uncover decades-old secrets.

The spirits of WINE AND SPIRITS are the other-worldly kind who function here to fill in some of the back story and ensure that the sisters find papers and other items stored in the home that will allow them to begin to see the bigger picture of their childhoods. As they reminisce, fight and begin to piece together the puzzle, they also drink wine.

WINE AND SPIRITS is not a complicated work, but it is fun and goes down easy and at a good pace. Set all in one room, and with the still-alive sisters making discoveries as the spirits walk among them by the end of act 2 if everyone does not quite have closure, they at least have revitalized relationships.
