Just in time for our sunny summer weather, the Actors Ensemble of Berkeley is bringing a charming and enjoyable new adaptation of E.M. Forster’s much-loved 1908 novel, A Room with a View, to the recently renovated John Hinkel Amphitheater. And at no charge!

Andrew Calabrese’s direction hits just the right notes between interpreting the play as a light comedy of England’s classist Victorian society and a sympathetic view of Lucy’s emerging strength of character, all while preserving the optimistic view of life that infused the novel.

I encourage you to come to the John Hinkel Park Amphitheater in the next few weeks to see for yourself. The cast is first-rate, with special kudos to Sophie Ruf’s Lucy. The direction, costumes, and sound effects greatly enhance the production.
