Another Austen-related event at Winterthur

Filed under: Austen Societies and Events — Mags @ 10:16 am

For those who are disappointed that they missed Jane Austen Day at the Winterthur Museum, there is another Austen-related event coming up.

On Saturday, November 4th from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Winterthur is hosting a family day called Book Behind the Film. The Vagabond Acting Troupe will present Writing Threads, a walking tour that features the words and thoughts of William Shakespeare, Henry James, Jane Austen, Agatha Christie, and Karen Blixen. Writing Threads is a 25 minute walking tour of literary thoughts, presented in the galleries of the Fashion in Film exhibition. For more information, visit the Winterthur Web site or call 302-888-4600 or 1-800-448-3883.

We recommend going to see the Fashion in Film exhibition at least. Emma and Marianne’s wedding gowns, the lace on Mr. Bingley’s sisters’ gowns, and did we mention Colonel Brandon’s regimentals? Yes, we did, but they are worth mentioning again. :-)
