The July 27 matinee performance of Austen's Pride at Stages Theatre was truly glorious! Every voice was perfection. The dialogue and musical compositions were extraordinary.
The unique twist was having the author Jane Austen, in the midst of her characters, appreciating and enhancing their lives through changes to her manuscript as her fresh understanding of their needs and perspectives unfold, along with her own. (And her voice was perhaps the most sublime of them all!)
The characters were exquisite, the singing and music were glorious! It was by far the best performance I have seen at Stages, and there have been some great ones!
I am going to see it again before it's gone... it was that good!! read more
