Following their sell-out premiere last year, The Old Town Halls resident company, the award-winning Dyad Productions, (That Knave, Raleigh, A Christmas Carol, A Room of Ones Own, Christmas Gothic, I, Elizabeth, Austens Women, Female Gothic) are back for a celebration of Jane Austen 250, with their brand new solo comedy show: Jane Austens magnificently crafted tale of manipulation and manners. Meet devil-may-care black widow, Lady Susan, (the most accomplished coquette in England), hunting down not one, but two, fortunes; oppressed, rebellious daughter Frederica; long-suffering sister-in-law Catherine; family matriarch Mrs De Courcy; and insouciant best friend, Alicia. Return to the Regency (or rather, Georgian) in this wickedly funny tale of society and the women trapped within it; their struggles, their desires, their temptations and manipulations - and at the vanguard, Lady Susan: charming, scheming, witty, and powerful; taking on society and making it her own. But has she met her match? Based on Jane Austens first full-length work from 1794, the piece is performed by Rebecca Vaughan and directed by Andrew Margerison. This is Austen as youve never seen her before!
