A whimsical window into the magnificent mind of Jane Austen.
Seldom can it happen that something is not a little disguised, or a little mistaken. —Jane Austen
Jane Austen’s life was censored by the patriarchy and romanticised by popular culture. Why did her family burn her letters? How and why did she create? Created/curated from an intergenerational feminist perspective, this new work from old collides elements of music and verbatim theatre within a dreamscape.
An ensemble piece with three actors playing Jane, and characters from Pride and Prejudice, with songs from her private collections, this play invites you to immerse yourself in Jane’s magnificent mind; bringing what you know about her, her novels, and her meaning, to the space; and maybe to discover more.
