“The kind of play that reminds you of why you love theatre!”- Variety

When two frustrated London housewives decide to rent a villa in Italy for a holiday away from their bleak marriages, they recruit two very different English women to share the cost and the experience. There, among the wisteria blossoms and Mediterranean sunshine, all four bloom again—rediscovering themselves in ways that they—and we—could never have expected. 

Any questions? Please contact Kevin Harris by clicking HERE.

Charlotte Wilkins - Lotty - 30's, dowdy, childless, fed up, earnest, no social graces, wispy hair, crumpled hat, face puckered with effort and fear, instant soul-mate with Rose, shocked by her own daring at planning this adventure as well as the extravagance of it. Finds the Italian setting wildly, ridiculously, divinely beautiful.

Rose Arbuthnot - older than Lotty, 30's, prudish, proper, gives every penny to the poor to make up for her husband's evil books, she can't spend anything on her own enjoyment because of where the money comes from. Says of her husband's writing, "No one should write a book God wouldn't like to read."

Clerk - over 20, male or female

Lady Caroline Dester - 28 - 35, enchantress and society beauty. Single, from a wealthy, well-known family, wants quiet and to escape from the grabbing hands of men. Wants to recover from too much of everything an indulged young woman knows. Has an overbearing mother who "thinks nothing of value could come from the thinking of a beautiful young woman."

Thomas Briggs - 30's, handsome, portraitist who inherited the castle. Uses a hat and cane, nice guy smitten with Caroline at first sight.

Mrs. William Fisher - 65, aggressive dowager, widowed 11 years ago, still wearing black. Offers for her personal references: Archbishop of Canterbury, Pres. of the Royal Academy, Gov. of Bank of England. Lives in the past where eminent Victorians such as Tennyson and Browning were family friends. Walks with a cane and wants only to sit in the sun and remember.

Domenico - 30+, Italian speaking - caretaker of the castle

Francesca - 30+, Italian speaking- housekeeper for the castle

Mellersh Wilkins - 35-45, discreet family solicitor, forceful, top-hatted, frock-coated, respectable, with a high opinion of himself. "Needing an airing" according to Lotty, his wife. Thrifty except where his food is concerned.

Frederick Arbuthnot - (a.k.a. Ferdinand Arrundel) - 35-45, writer of successful, salacious, biographies of royalty: Cleopatra, du' Barry. He writes under a pseudonym to respect his wife's sensibilities. Spends most of his time away from her and knows Lady Caroline very well in his "other life."
