We do a number of demos with 2 al foil oven liners set up vertically like a parallel plate cap connected to a van de graff.  One demo is to put a lit candle between the two plates.  The e field definitely drives the top of the flame towards one plate and the bottom towards the other.  

This is an effect you can investigate.
