Lizzy, Darcy & Jane

Lizzy, Darcy & Jane

Joanna Norland

Overview

Jane Austen pits her wit and will against her greatest adversary and ally: Elizabeth Bennet. Heady with her first taste of love, a 20-year-old Jane creates Elizabeth, and Mr. Darcy takes on the role of her arch enemy and reluctant admirer. When Austen’s actual romance sours, she sentences Elizabeth to marry the odious Mr. Collins and commits herself to an equally disastrous marriage. The fates of the author, the novel and its heroine are at stake in this play; Elizabeth Bennet must take action.
