Beyond the Book in Florida is all about Austen
Alert Janeite Cindy C. sent us some information about the Beyond the Book program in Florida, which has chosen Pride and Prejudice as its 2007 selection. The selection is tied to the Asolo Repertory Theatre’s stage production of Pride and Prejudice in March and April, and the program is “aimed at inspiring reading, literacy, and community connection.”
The list of planned events is quite extensive (we’re a little jealous! So much Janeite fun to be had!)
Cindy tells us, “The actress doing the book readings is understudy for the role of Mrs. Bennet and she said the set design will be minimalist, which should be interesting. The photos at the Asolo’s web site seem to have been taken at the John Ringling mansion, Ca’d'Zan.”
