When two frustrated London housewives decide to rent a villa in Italy for a holiday, they recruit two very different English women to share the cost and the experience.  There, among the wisteria blossoms and Mediterranean sunshine, all four bloom again; rediscovering themselves in ways that they — and we — could never have expected. Adapted by Matthew Barber from the book by Elizabeth von Arnim

Matthew and Julia Perry seemingly have it all.  But Matthew wants more—to be rid of Julia so he can have more fun.  Julia vows to remain alive, so the games begin!  Soon, anyone else acquainted with Julia is dying, and the Perry’s dimwitted daughter wants to call off her wedding to steady Donald as there will be no presents.  Add a clueless detective and a witty and scheming butler and you have a classic who done it.  Written by Ron Bernas.
