THE STORY: APRIL SNOW, is a deeply felt study of love and loneliness involving an aging writer and the women who have figured most significantly in his life—one of his four ex-wives, and a young protégé, forty years his junior, who rekindles his long-lost passions. But, as this bittersweet comedy makes eloquently clear, old wounds are slow to heal, and happiness can be the most elusive—and illusory—of human conditions.
