San Juan Community Theatre’s On Book series continues with a reading of Matthew Barber’s Enchanted April. The period comedy based on the novel by Elizabeth von Arnim follows two London housewives feeling lost in the shadows of marriage and forgotten in the rush of 1920s post-war society. So, they pool their savings to rent a villa in Italy for a ladies-only holiday away, reluctantly recruiting a pair of difficult upper-class women to share the cost and the experience. Together under the Mediterranean sun, the four women clash — and then begin to bond and bloom — until men once again upset the balance. Enchanted April is directed by Clayton Banry, features a cast of local actors and is a perfect escape for your group of friends! The show will be presented on Wednesday, Dec. 13 and Thursday, Dec. 14 at 7:30 p.m. each evening with Pay What You Can admission at the door.
