Austen's Women

Event information

Jane Austen’s most celebrated female characters come to life in this bold revisiting of her ‘two inches of ivory’. In scenes of high comedy and moments of profound pathos, Lizzy Bennet, Emma Woodhouse, Marianne Dashwood and many more, fall in love, alienate their friends and commit notorious improprieties. Using only Austen’s words, Rebecca Vaughan offers a brilliant distillation of 19th century feminism.
