Alert Janeite Julie T. spotted this intersection in the south side of her hometown of Milwaukee:

Bennett and Wentworth Streets

We’ve had an insanely busy couple of weeks (so if you e-mailed us and we didn’t respond or post it, we’re not ignoring you, really) but hope to get caught up tonight or over the weekend. In the meantime, have an open thread. What’s new in Janeiteland?

I Love You Because in Missouri, More on Emma Musical in Cincinnati

Filed under: Jane in the News — Mags @ 7:10 am

We just noticed that I Love You Because, a modern-set, gender-switched musical retelling of Pride and Prejudice, has quietly opened (in other words, we were not informed) at the American Heartland Theatre in Kansas City, Missouri. The play runs through April 20, 2008. Tickets are $27-33.50 and available at the box office (information at the link above). If you go, send in a report!

Alert Janeites Shannon and Lisa sent us a link to an article in Playbill about the Paul Gordon musical of Emma, which will be staged in the autumn by Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park.

Jane Austen DVD store at Amazon

Filed under: Merchandise, Online, Screen — Mags @ 7:05 am

Alert Janeite JennaL sent us a link to a Jane Austen DVD Store at Amazon. Nothing we don’t already know about, but hey, one-stop shopping, right? And as Jenna pointed out, it’s fun to look through.

We also can’t resist taking the opportunity to link to JASNA’s Austen on Film Section, which has a list of just about all the movies available to purchase, and then some.
