Photo Flash: Donna Murphy & More Opening Night TERESA'S ECSTASY at Cherry Lane Theatre

In TERESA'S ECSTASY, Carlotta stops off in Barcelona to serve her husband Andres with divorce papers before going to Avila, where she is researching an article on St. Teresa, a 16th Century nun. Over a sumptuous lunch of wine and gazpacho, Andres fights to rekindle their relationship. But Carlotta is on a quest for the divine, and in the process of discovering the mystical Teresa's Ecstasy, she discovers herself. TERESA’S ECSTASY is a sexually charged look at politics, religion and ultimately love.
