Jane Austen has a problem. She has relocated to Chawton to enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside but her lively cast of characters is causing her a lot of bother. Come and join Mrs Elton, Mr Collins, Lydia Bennett and many more as they seek to entertain you and fight for their right to be heard in Jane’s novels. This new play is written and performed by Beckis Cooper (the ‘phenomenal’ Unversed - at Stamford Arts, 2024 , Shakespeare’s Birthplace, Chawton House, Lamport Hall; Macbeth for the Tabard Theatre and Grace Notes for The Old Red Lion/King’s Head and Edinburgh Fringe.)
