Alert Janeite Cynthia sent a link to a story in her hometown newspaper, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, that she found amusing and thought our readers would as well. The Pride and Prejudice-O-Meter gives you the opportunity to vote for your favorite theatrical interpretations of the P&P characters (and now that it will be posted on AustenBlog, we daresay the results will shortly become extremely skewed).

Cynthia also wrote of the recent production of P&P by the Milwaukee Rep, “I have to say this has to be one of the most successful plays the Rep has ever produced. I have talked to dozens of people of all stripes and levels of Austen appreciation, and they loved this production. It was sold out, or nearly so, for every performance.”
