Synopsis
In this fast-paced romp, three actors take on all of Austen’s beloved heroines, friends, and love interests – and her incisive social satire – in just 80 minutes. But when they lose a cast member, the two remaining Janeites must teach an understudy about her work.

Roles
“Jessica” (f)
“Charlotte” aka Chuck (f)
“Trevor” aka Harry (m/f)

** The play is written for 2 female & 1 male actors BUT may be cast with 3 female actors**

** All three actors play a variety of ages and sexes **

** Actors must be able to do a refined Hampshire English accent. Strong comedic and improv skills will be an asset**.
