Plot Synopsis

Enchanted April is a play about the power of nature and nurture. Two women, so unhappily married, so degraded, so self-righteous, find each other and then escape to Italy, to an advertised castle, because the artistic, young property owner has placed an advertisement. Along with these two not-so-old escapees, are an elderly dowager and a young seductress. Husbands appear, and there is hilarity and the element of timing and slapstick that enervates the bucolic setting of Italy, after the stark British interiors.
