From: Photo Flash: Orlando Shakespeare Theatre's CHARM

Directed by Patrick Flick, Kathleen Cahill's CHARM is a romantic comedy of manners that follows the life of Margaret Fuller, a remarkable feminist who lived during the mid-1800s. Fuller, a contemporary of three great American thinkers - Henry David Thoreau, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Nathaniel Hawthorne - was a brilliant writer, philosopher, and social critic far ahead of her time. Full of luscious language and juicy anachronisms, CHARM is a modern, hilarious and stimulating piece that magically weaves in and out of history.
