Against the backdrop of a country still reeling from World War I, the play offers to its characters and viewers a balm of sunshine and renewal.Wistful Lottie Wilton sees an advertisement in the paper to rent a castle in Italy for the month of April. It is described as an idyllic spot for those who appreciate wisteria and sunshine, and she jumps at the chance to escape her downtrodden existence. Feeling lost in the shadows of marriage in the post-war rush of the 1920s, she gathers three very different London housewives to pool their savings for a ladies-only getaway.
