Synopsis
As a timid ten-year-old, Fanny Prince is taken to live with her affluent cousins, the Bertrams, at Mansfield Park.
Despite suffering many hardships as the poor relation in her early years, Fanny, by her gentle good-natured disposition, becomes an indispensible member of the household and finally marries her true love Edmund.
Presented at Sheffield's Crucible Theatre in 1993, this skilful dramatization preserves all the plot and characterization of the classic novel while conveying the ironic wit of Jane Austen in the person of the servants who act as narrators, commenting sardonically on the action.
