ENCHANTED APRIL takes place in 1922; Act I is in various locales of a cold and damp London, and ACT II takes places in a villa in San Salvatore, Italy. Four women, of differing ages and backgrounds, decide to rent a villa together, in Italy. This decision will prove to be not only courageous, but a life transforming adventure. It will also effect the men in their lives.

AVAILABLE ROLES:

MELLERSH WILTON - 30-40s, husband to Lotty, correct British gentleman, dominant;

ROSE ARNOTT - 30-40s, severe British housewife, Sunday school teacher;

FREDERICK ARNOTT - 30-40s, husband to Rose, writer of racy books, womanizer;
