BRUNCH AND A SHOW!!!
Tred Avon Players offers an escape to sun-drenched Italy with the captivating production of “Enchanted April” adapted by Matthew Barber of Elizabeth von Arnim’s 1922 novel, opening April 25.
Two frustrated English housewives flee their bleak marriages in post WWI England and invite two other women. It’s a beautiful saga of four divergent women attempting to counteract the gloomy aspects of their lives by renting a lovely Italian villa during the enchanting month of April. Among the wisteria bushes and Mediterranean sunshine, their lives bloom again in a comically restorative journey of discovery as these courageous women recapture their sense of self and their renewed joy of life and love. The holiday journey changes and enhances their lives, and new adjustments occur when Lotty and Roses’ husbands join them as well as the owner of the villa.
Romantic, delightful, touching and outrageously funny, “Enchanted April” is directed by Mary Fawcett Watko, with Judy Gannon as assistant director. Equally charming and enchanting is the cast of Donna Allen, Paul Briggs, Maggie Garey, Dianne Hood, Alison Lynch, Erik Murray, Lynn Sanchez, and Rob Sanchez.
Producer is Fiona Foster, stage manager is Rob Lynch, and set designer is Lawrie Jessup, with props & set decoration by Julie Barnett, Gail Woodall, and Steve Clyburn. Light designer is Skipper Marquess with costume design by Kate Levey assisted by Janet Pfeffer, Felice Scher, and Mara Wolff. Light operator is Patrick Fee and sound operator Bill Gross.
