Wilde Theatre presents “The Wild Women of Winedale”

A Wilde Theatre is presenting the open show in its second season: “The Wild Women of Winedale,” by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope and Jamie Wooten (authors of “Dixie Swim Club” and “Always a Bridesmaid”).
The comedy focuses on the Wild sisters of Winedale, three women at crossroads in their lives: Fanny and Willa, and their frustratingly quirky sister-in-law, Johnnie Faye. This feisty and fun-loving trio has supported and cheered one another through life’s highs and lows over the years. They really need each other now as Fanny experiences a hilariously inappropriate reaction to her birthday, while Willa is so stressed-out from her nursing job she resorts to vodka and speed-knitting to cope, and Johnnie Faye, determined to put her year of fraught widowhood behind her, desperately tries to find a man – preferably a man with a house since hers is somewhere at the bottom of a Florida sinkhole.
With equal doses of hilarity and heart, these extraordinary women come up with delightful and surprisingly unorthodox ways to free themselves of what’s keeping them from moving their lives forward. They confidently set their sights on accepting nothing less than happiness while there’s still time to enjoy it. This comedy is guaranteed to drive you wild with laughter – and motivate you to keep hounding the kids to please take all of the Hummels, that stack of quilts, and Granny’s china!
