 | | Austen’s Women
Thursday January 14
The Black Box, 1.00pm & 8.00pm
Duration: 70mins (please note latecomers not admitted)
Jane Austen was a woman ahead of her time creating some of literature’s most celebrated characters and defining her era, her sex and her class. She speaks for the yearning heart as much now as in her own day. But just how much have things really changed for women since then?
In a bold revisiting using nothing but the words of Austen herself, the souls of Emma Woodhouse, Lizzy Bennet, Mrs Norris, Miss Bates and many more are brilliantly illuminated. Taken out of context (and in the absence of the men!) these women speak volumes for their sex and their standing constrained by the stringent societal code of their time.
Lovers of Jane Austen or the uninitiated few will revel in appreciation of the queen of English of Literature distilled to her essence!
Rebecca Vaughan’s solo debut was a fabulous hit at Edinburgh 2009 under the direction of Guy Masterson. | | | | | | Lunchtime Show: £5.00 + Lunch
