Jane Austen in Berkeley this weekend
No, really! Would we kid you? 
Playwright Andrea Mock is having a cup of tea Saturday with Jane Austen — sort of.
Mock’s one-woman show “Jane Austen in Berkeley” holds a free performance at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at A Cuppa Tea, 3200 College Ave., Berkeley.
The playwright exposes the pride and prejudice of Berkeley mothers as the show follows the travails of single mom Jane Smith and her imaginary alter-ego, novelist Jane Austen.
Austen berates Smith and pushes her to write something more cultured and rarefied than her characterless, plotless novel, “Toxique Shock Syndrome.”
As she has done in the past, Mock writes her plays, records them with sound effects and music and then performs them live on stage along with the CD. It’s sort of a solo show in stereo, half live, half recorded.
Call (510) 841-9441.
As always, if any AustenBlog readers go to this performance, we’d love to publish your review.
