Charm, a 'magical dance through the life of women's rights activist Margaret Fuller' closes April 17, 2011 at the John & Rita Lowndes Shakespeare Center in Orlando. This play, written by Kathleen Cahill and directed by Patrick Flick, returns after being a hit in last year's PlayFest workshop.

Orlando Shakespeare Theater in Partnership with UCF announces its lineup of new play readings, workshops, and panel discussions for PlayFest!

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.

Full of luscious language and juicy anachronisms, CHARM is a modern, hilarious and stimulating piece that magically weaves in and out of history.

Margaret Fuller and the Transcendentalists are not a rock group. And CHARM isn't your typical history play; but Margaret is the woman who inspired Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter.
