Join JASNA-NC as we embark on a fabulous and fun live reading of a selection of letters from Jane Austen’s novels!
In a letter to her sister Cassandra, Jane Austen once wrote: “I have now attained the true art of letter-writing, which we are always told, is to express on paper exactly what one would say the same person by word of mouth.” In this meeting, we will hear a selection of famous letters from Jane Austen’s novels, read by our very own member volunteers (and possibly with props or even costumes!).
We have roles for up to 15 people. If you’re interested in being a reader, please email Karin and/or indicate your preference when you register. We’ll send the script to participants ahead of the meeting so they have time to rehearse.
From Captain Wentworth’s impassioned letter to Mr. Collins’s moronic missives, all of Jane’s novels are represented, and you may hear from your favorite character. Whether you volunteer to read or would just like to listen, it promises to be a rollicking good time for all!
