don't adaptations miss the point; Jane Austen was scathingly critical of women in her time...

We are taking a play to Edinburgh Festival this August that's basically a series of Jane Austen's words 说 through various women. Some famouse, some not and some from her juvenilia.

Why? Because Jane Austen defined a whole era of women, class and politics. Screenplays simplify things down to black/white/romance - but actually when 你 look at her writing, Jane Austen's women are far 更多 complex, flawed and difficult than any screen adaptation has ever made them to be.

We'll be at Edinburgh in August at the Assembly Rooms on George Street. It's called AUSTEN'S WOMEN.
