No, dagnabit, it’s NOT a good idea

It’s not! Unless you’re going to DO IT RIGHT!

BECOMING JANE: Having run out of novels written by the not-very-prolific Jane Austen to adapt into hit art-house romantic-comedies, what better idea than to make a movie about the 19th-century author herself starring the charming Anne Hathaway? (Aug. 3)

A better idea? Don’t put out a Made Up Story and try to shine us on that it’s anything close to a “true story.”

Thanks to Alert Janeite Jessica Irene for the link.

I LOVE YOU BECAUSE opens in Coral Gables, Florida

Filed under: Stage — Mags @ 1:18 am

I LOVE YOU BECAUSE, a modern musical stage adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, has opened at Actors’ Playhouse in Coral Gables, Florida. The play will run through February 11, 2007. The Miami Herald reviewer had a great time. Tickets range from $38.50 to $46.00 and are available online.

(If this play sounds familiar, that’s because it was presented Off Broadway last year.)
