Margaret Fuller and the Transcendentalists are not a rock group. And CHARM isn't your typical history play; but Margaret is the woman who inspired Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter. Directed by Patrick Flick, Kathleen Cahill's CHARM is a romantic comedy of manners that follows the life of Margaret Fuller, a remarkable woman who lived during the mid-1800s. Fuller, a contemporary of three great American thinkers - Henry David Thoreau, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Nathaniel Hawthorne - was a brilliant writer, philosopher, and social critic far ahead of her time. Full of luscious language and juicy anachronisms, CHARM is a modern, hilarious and stimulating piece that magically weaves in and out of history.
