Enchanted April

Morton Arboretum
4100 Illinois Route 53 Lisle

Escape into the romance and splendor of the Italian countryside in Theatre-Hikes' production of Matthew Barber's Tony-nominated drama at The Morton Arboretum. The theater company's innovative approach marries stage favorites and nature walks, with scenes held in various locations in parks and along hiking trails. Bring a blanket, water and comfortable shoes so you can enjoy the surrounding natural beauty during jaunts between scenes on the arboretum grounds. You'll be following the story of two frustrated London housewives who dream of a temporary escape from their bleak marriages after reading an ad for Italian villas to rent. They reluctantly recruit the elderly, ill-tempered Mrs. Fisher and the gorgeous-but-chilly Lady Caroline Dester to help defray the cost. Together in a lush Mediterranean setting, these four very different women experience an unexpected reawakening of their hopes and desires.

Presented by Theatre Hikes
