“A Celebration of Jane Austen” with Elizabeth Garvie

Filed under: Stage — Mags @ 8:45 pm

Elizabeth Garvie, who played Elizabeth Bennet in the 1980 television adaptation of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, will take part in “A Celebration of Jane Austen” at the Court Theatre at Pendley Tring in (fittingly) Hertfordshire.

A celebration of the life and works of one of England’s most popular authors presented by one of the country’s best-loved actors. The fascinating and enigmatic Jane Austen is revealed in her own words and in those of her admirers; accompanied by music.

As always, if you go, post a review.

Win a P&P3 DVD prize package

Filed under: Pride and Prejudice (2005) — Mags @ 8:18 pm

Alert Janeite Carol wrote to tell us that the Manolo for the Brides blog is running a contest, the prize for which is a P&P3 DVD package with tea and other goodies. Entrants have to submit a “bizarre or hilarious” wedding story by February 27.

There is much that could be snarked in the blog entry–wandering spelling, perception of 18th century modes of cleanliness–but the Editrix has been in every secondhand shop in Southeastern Pennsylvania today looking for a nice dresser with drawers that might actually hold something (in other words, what modern furniture makers are NOT making) and does not have the energy. Besides, they’re giving away a lovely prize, it seems rather churlish.
