A period comedy by Matthew Barber (from the novel by Elizabeth Von Arnim)

A Broadway hit, Enchanted April is a period romantic comedy set on a sun-soaked Italian hillside. Two frustrated London housewives rent a villa for a holiday away from their bleak marriages, and recruit two other women to share the cost. There, among the wisteria blossoms and Mediterranean sunshine, all four rediscover themselves in ways they never could have expected. Insightful, poignant, optimistic, and highly comic, this story leaves you feeling entranced and transformed.

“The kind of play that reminds you of why you love theatre.” – Hartford News

"Under the direction of Cris Cassell, the cast does a marvelous job of bringing Barber’s rich script to life, mining all the story elements to great effect."

"A wonderful romantic comedy and definitely a must see for all ages.  Director Cris Cassell has orchestrated something truly magical in this play. Each actor is so well cast……..become enchanted and charmed."

-          Flora Lynn Isaacson, Westside Observer

"If ever there was a play that was a perfect fit for a community theater like Marin’s Ross Valley Players, it’s Mathew Barber’s 2003 adaption of Elizabeth von Arnim’s 1922 novel Enchanted April."
