Synopsis

Come along for a funny, fast-paced romp through the masterpieces of Jane Austen with The Complete Works of Jane Austen, Abridged .

Three actors take on all of Austen’s beloved heroines, friends, and love interests – and her incisive social satire – in just 80 minutes.

But when they lose a cast member, the two remaining Janeites must teach an understudy about her work.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that an audience in possession of high spirits must be in want of a ticket to this big-hearted comedy that will delight Austen fans and newcomers alike.

Press Reviews

"An affectionate tribute to the author whose characters live indelibly in the minds of readers all over the world… The show’s real charm lies in its delicate negotiation between homage and parody."
— Philadelphia Inquirer

"If you were not a “Janeite” at the beginning of the performance, you were certainly on your way to becoming one by the end."
— Beyond My Backyard
