Set in the 1920's, Enchanted April takes place in a small town in Italy on the Mediterranean where four English women rent a place and try to come to grips with their lives and relationships. During their enchanted month in Italy, the ladies fall under the spell of their idyllic, sun-drenched surroundings. They rediscover laughter, learn new truths about themselves and find the romance they long for.
Enchanted April opened at the Belasco Theatre on Broadway in 2003 and was a 2003 Tony Award nominee for Best Play.
