Theater Casting Call for "Enchanted April" Play

ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. Seeking performers to play roles in production of "Enchanted April". More details are below. About the play: Matthew Barber’s Enchanted April, based on Elizabeth Von Arnim’s beloved novel of the 1920s, is a gentle and romantic comedy of manners. Set against the backdrop of a country still reeling from World War I Enchanted April offers to its characters, and viewers, a necessary balm of sunshine and renewal. This delightful heartwarming play addresses love, loss, marriage, women’s independence, and societal constraints, but most of all it is the delightful journey of interesting women as they explore friendship and themselves in a male dominated society. Feeling lost in the shadows of marriage and forgotten in the rush of 1920s post-war society, two unlikely companions – sweet-natured Lotty Wilton, and the reserved Rose Arnott pool their resources and ingenuity to reluctantly recruit a pair of upper-class women to share the cost and rent a villa in Italy. Together under the Mediterranean sun, the four women clash with one another — and then begin to bond and bloom. With the arrival of two chastened husbands, and an attractive young artist, romance and hope blossom again. Additional information: Actors will be asked to do readings from the script.
