Details for screening of P&P3 at Jane Austen Festival in Bath
The Jane Austen Centre at Bath has posted details about their pre-Festival screening of P&P3 on September 15:
The Jane Austen Festival Director, Sue Hughes, will be hosting a special additional event ahead of this year’s Festival.
“We’ve been lucky enough to be offered a pre-release screening of the new ‘Pride and Prejudice’ movie and wanted to mark it out as a special occasion,” said Sue. “A limited number of tickets will be available for a private party at the Jane Austen Centre before we all go down to the screening at the Little Theatre. It will be a lovely evening.” As well as a buffet and wine at the party, ‘goodie’ bags containing film company items and special Jane Austen souvenirs will be given out.
Those lucky enough to have caught the press screenings of the new film have been most enthusiastic in their praise.“The BBC version in the ’90’s brought a new generation to Jane Austen, and this film is likely to rekindle that interest. It is earthy, gritty and very realistic,” said Isla MacFarlane of the Jane Austen Centre. “I can’t wait to see it again as the characterisation is so well formed.”
The ‘Pride and Prejudice Party’ is on Thursday the 15th of September.
Tickets are £8 available from the Festival box office 01225 463362
The Jane Austen Festival runs from 17-25 September and includes some great events.
