Character Analysis
(Avoiding Spoilers)
Overview… cellist. Jane plays for the moment, to get lost in reverie. She practices obsessively, compulsively, and until her fingers bleed. She lives for her art, but she is not quite good enough to play in a symphony. So she directs the local elementary school band to pay the bills.
Personality… taciturn and reserved. Jane is conservative in dress and demeanor unless around her friends Sukie and Alexandra, in whom she confides her appreciation for a “nice ass.” Jane is recently divorced and looking to rebound. She is a passionate woman, but she holds her passion in check while waiting for the right man. In the mean time, she’ll always have her cello.
Get to Know her in...
-
Three single women in a picturesque village have their wishes granted - at a cost - when a mysterious and flamboyant man arrives in their lives.
-
Toward the end of the Vietnam era, in a snug little Rhode Island seacoast town, wonderful powers have descended upon Alexandra, Jane, and Sukie, bewitching divorcées with sudden access to all that is female, fecund, and mysterious. Alexandra, a sculptor, summons thunderstorms; Jane, a cellist, floats on the air; and Sukie, the local gossip columnist, turns milk into cream. Their happy little coven takes on new, malignant life when a dark and moneyed stranger, Darryl Van Horne, refurbishes the long-derelict Lenox mansion and invites them in to play. Thenceforth scandal flits through the darkening, crooked streets of Eastwick—and through the even darker fantasies of the town’s collective psyche.
