By Jane's Hand
A whimsical window into the magnificent mind of Jane Austen, By Jane’s Hand returns to La Mama following its sell-out season in 2023.
Jane’s life was censored by the patriarchy and romanticised by popular culture. Why did her family burn her letters? How and why did she create? This new work from old collides elements of music and verbatim theatre within a dreamscape.
An ensemble piece with three actors playing Jane and characters from Pride and Prejudice, this play invites you to immerse yourself in Jane’s magnificent mind, bringing what you know about her, her novels and her meaning to the space, and maybe discover more.
This work has been created/curated from an intergenerational feminist perspective.
