About the show
Jane Austen is back! Dead since 1817, she has spent more than two centuries observing humanity. In this playful new adaptation of Love and Friendship, an older Jane Austen returns to reflect on the exuberant novella she wrote aged fourteen.
Looking back across two hundred years of social change, she discovers that while fashions, language and technology have transformed, human beings remain delightfully susceptible to vanity, romance, impulsive decisions and spectacularly poor judgement. Written long before Pride and Prejudice and Emma, Love and Friendship reveals Austen at her most outrageous: a whirlwind of friendship, romance, fainting fits and dramatic excess.
