Scary Janeites frighten director. Film at 11.
October 7, 2004
A stage production of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE opens Friday at the Lakeland Theater in Kirtland, Ohio (near Cleveland). The director seems a trifle intimidated by Jane Austen fans.
“I had to get this adaptation vetted from the Jane Austen Society,” says director Martin Friedman. “They wanted to make sure the adaptation was true to the literary work. They’re really passionate . . . and sorta scary.”
Scary? Us little ol’ Janeites? We’re pussycats. Just ask Patricia Rozema.
P.S. As always, if you see this play and want to send in a review, we’d love to share it with our readers.
