When One Night Isn't Enough by Wendy S. Marcus

While he knows his time with Anna was just some wild oats being youthfully sown, her letters touch his heart and sway him to consider her to be more than a mere dalliance. Rounding out the cast is Zachary Hoover as the dashing yet churlish Charles. Her wide-eyed optimism is refreshing even though her naïveté could ultimately be her downfall. Tara Sorg is a delight to behold as Anna, the simple country girl who falls hard for a man she knows nothing about. Semester as Arthur blusters his way through most of the show ignoring all but his own business until something reminds him of why he fell in love with his wife in the first place. Lori Ecker shows Edith to be a very passionate woman who has just lost touch with that side of herself, and blossoms once it is recaptured. Since Anna can barely read or write, Edith serves as her go-between, penning her letters, and a web of love and deceit is cast. The girl falls in love with a gentleman she meets at the fair, and the two set upon a romantic correspondence. However, her young maid, Anna, provides her with an escape of sorts. Her love for her husband, Arthur, is fading, and she feels trapped by her station and circumstances.

In a country town in Victorian England, Edith Harnham is a well-to-do woman of a certain age who finds herself stuck in a rut. Buck Creek Players’ latest offering, “After the Fair,” brings us a feminine twist of the traditional Cyrano tale.
