The Letters of Jane Austen

A delightful and moving record of the experiences, frustrations and pleasures familiar to many people of Jane Austen’s time, illuminated throughout with flashes of her characteristic wit. 

“We met Dr Hall in such deep mourning that either his mother, his wife or himself must be dead!”

The charm of the letters lies in their content, which unfolds a family saga over different generations: births, marriages and deaths, family tensions, and even the occasional whiff of scandal. 

With original music by Adam Howell.
