color="#000000" size="2"><em>Enchanted April</em>,
Matthew Barber's Tony-award winning stage
adaptation of Elizabeth Von Arnim's 1922 novel,
will be the first production of 2012 at Chagrin
Valley Little Theatre. It opens in January under
the direction of Brendan Sandham. The play is
based on the same book which spawned the 1992
film (nominated for several Golden Globe and
Academy Awards) and the 2010 musical stage
version. </font></p>
<p align="justify"><font style="font-size:13px"
face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"
color="#000000" size="2">Beginning in 1920s
England, <em>Enchanted April</em> tells the
tale Lotty Wilson (Dawn Hill), the young wife of
a prominent British solicitor, who settles upon
an April getaway to a secluded castle in Milan
to relieve her boredom with rainy London (and
with her husband - played by Don Knepper). She
invites along her new friend from the Ladies
Club, the quiet and thoughtful Rose Arnott
(Caitlin Van Niel). Rose is feeling left behind
by her own husband (Joe Pine), and joins bubbly
Lotty for a change of scenery.</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font style="font-size:13px"
face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"
color="#000000" size="2"> Needing money to cover
the rental fee of the Italian castle, Lotty
manages to convince two unlikely strangers to go
along - the free-spirited young socialite Lady
Caroline (Evie Koh), and an overbearing widow
named Mrs. Graves (Anna Davis). Upon reaching
Milan, the unlikely companions also meet the
castle's owner (Matt Mortensen) and cook (Pamela
Ruiz), who soon become part of their lives. </font></p>
<p align="justify"><font style="font-size:13px"
face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"
color="#000000" size="2">While falling in love
with the Mediterranean countryside, they each
learn something surprising about hope, love, and
themselves. It's an uplifting romantic comedy
that's perfect for warming the heart in the
middle of a blustery Cleveland winter!</font></p>
