Recenzii

A stunning play
Jane Austen's unfinished novel bursts onto the stage in Wade's brilliantly funny take
An amusing, affecting, inspiring evening of soft gingham and hard truths
Excellent. Jane Austen has never been quite as much fun
Laura Wade's depiction of wealth and privilege is savagely funny
Beautifully observed, very funny
