Play Synopsis: Two frustrated housewives, Lotty and Rose, find themselves trapped in the gloom of bleak marriages and perpetual London rain in the winter of 1922. All seems hopeless until they decide to use their dress money and what little savings they have to rent a villa in Italy for the month of April. Joined there by a young English countess and a grumpy English dowager, their lives – and the lives of their two new friends – blossom in mysterious and unexpected ways.
