About Austen’s Women: LADY SUSAN

Following their sell-out premiere last year, The Old Town Hall’s resident company, the award-winning Dyad Productions, (That Knave, Raleigh, A Christmas Carol, A Room of One’s Own, Christmas Gothic, I, Elizabeth, Austen’s Women, Female Gothic) are back for a celebration of Jane Austen 250, with their brand new solo comedy show: Jane Austen’s magnificently crafted tale of manipulation and manners.

Meet devil-may-care black widow, Lady Susan, (‘the most accomplished coquette in England’), hunting down not one, but two, fortunes; oppressed, rebellious daughter Frederica; long-suffering sister-in-law Catherine; family matriarch Mrs De Courcy; and insouciant best friend, Alicia.

Return to the Regency (or rather, Georgian) in this wickedly funny tale of society and the women trapped within it; their struggles, their desires, their temptations and manipulations - and at the vanguard, Lady Susan: charming, scheming, witty, and powerful; taking on society and making it her own. But has she met her match?

Based on Jane Austen’s first full-length work from 1794, the piece is performed by Rebecca Vaughan and directed by Andrew Margerison. This is Austen as you’ve never seen her before!
