Kicking off Playhouse on Park’s 15th Anniversary Season is THE COMPLETE WORKS OF JANE AUSTEN (ABRIDGED), running September 27 - October 22.
FEATURED PLAY: The Complete Works of Jane Austen (Abridged) by Jessica Bedford, Kathryn MacMillan, Charlotte Northeast, and Meghan Winch
The Complete Works of Jane Austen (Abridged) Description: Three actors, one newbie, and two self-professed Janeites, tackle the entire canon of Jane Austen’s works – in just 80 minutes. A fun, funny, and fast-paced romp that will delight fans of Austen and newcomers alike. Fall in love with Emma, Elinor, Mr. Darcy, and more. It is a truth universally acknowledged that an audience in possession of high spirits must be in want of a ticket to this big-hearted comedy.
