Jane Austen
The Watsons
★★★★☆ Intriguing
The Watsons, from Edinburgh People’s Theatre at the Church Hill, is an attractive production of a clever (if distinctly odd) literary adaptation.
Pride and Prejudice* (*sort of)
★★★★★ Spectacular comedy feast
Pride and Prejudice* (*sort of) returns to Edinburgh in spectacular style. The retelling of Jane Austen’s classic highlights a time when, for a woman, finding financial security in the shape of a man took priority, while featuring a strong all-female cast who prove that women really can do it all.
Pride and Prejudice* (*sort of)
★★★★☆ Effervescent:
Pride and Prejudice* (*sort of), presented by the Lyceum with the Tron, Glasgow and Blood of the Young, is a constantly surprising and endlessly entertaining affair.
Austen Rom-com for Lyceum
Lyceum announced Pride and Prejudice* (*sort of) for Jan 2020:
The Lyceum is picking up the Blood of the Young, Tron co-production of Pride and Prejudice* (*sort of) for a six venue UK tour, hitting its own stage in January next year, 2020.
Austensibility
✭✭✭✩✩ Celebratory:
The Mercators are back at the Fringe this year with Austensibility; an engaging dramatised reading celebrating the life and works of Jane Austen.
Jane Austen’s Persuasion
✭✭✭✩✩ Resilient:
The resilience of the Chamber Opera of Chicago is never in doubt as the company stick at their operetta adaptation of Jane Austen’s Persuasion to the end, working hard to bring in at just under three hours.
Review – Mansfield Park
✭✭✭✩✩ Satisfactory adaptation
Solid if ultimately unspectacular, Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds’ adaptation of Mansfield Park provides quality entertainment even if it never really hits the heights.
