I love Jane Austen, and how her works are so easily adaptable to multiple formats.
This particular interpretation, created for the stage, was so wonderfully written. I loved the addition of the gossips who helped frame the piece, as well as the stage directions giving the actors help in motivating their performances.
This is such a good story about love, wealth, and status and I am so happy I had the opportunity to read it for my class.

I read this for research. I'm writing a story where high school characters need to act in a play that would have two female leads, and this one seemed very likely. It's a lovely adaptation of Austen, though I must admit I find the resolution somewhat underwhelming. At any rate, it serves my purpose.

DELIGHTFUL adaptation of a classic. I love the life and pace, and the characters are all wonderful. I hope to get to work on this play at some point in my career; it's brilliant.
