Last Friday night BN took me to the theater for my birthday outing. We went to the Very Little Theater, which is a small (duh) community theater very near to our home. We’d both been there before, to see December Bee, a play that was very similar in some ways to the one we saw this time, Enchanted April.<\/a> Both are about women having somewhat of a mid-life crisis. December Bee had surreal, tragic ending, but Enchanted April ended very happily. But it was not at all sappy or sentimental – it was quite clever, funny, and all the characters were very interesting. The four women who take a vacation together to Italy are 4 very different personalities, and then adding 3 men – two of the women’s husbands, and the host\/landlord; plus the housekeeper who speaks only Italian – makes for all kinds of entertaining interpersonal scenes. It’s set in the mid 1920’s, and this production managed to gather lovely period “frocks” for all the women. I love the look of the 20’s. It seems there’s a movie version, and it’s based on a novel – I’m going to have to check those out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
