An embarrassment of riches
September 19, 2008
Middle-school students in Chicago will put on three Jane Austen plays–over three nights!
CAST Jane Austen Festival, 7:30 p.m. Dec. 12-14. Three Jane Austen pieces will be performed over three evenings: “Pride and Prejudice,” “Emma” and “Northanger Abbey.”
We suspect these plays might be a trifle edited. Just a trifle. Cub Reporter Heather L.’s excellent site, Solitary Elegance, lists an adaptation of NA from a book of short plays designed to be put on in a classroom; perhaps these are something similar. We hope the kids have a lot of fun putting them on!
Thanks to Alert Janeites Laurel Ann and Lisa for the link!

What a way to shrink a large world. The site for these plays is a mile from my house. I don’t feel so alone anymore as I read this news here tonight. I’m always thinking about my faraway England, and the spring wind in London. Cheers for mentioning my location!
Sweet Lord! This is in my very own home town. I daresay I will know some if not many of the participants. I must attend! Thank you alert Janeites.
