Jane Austen's famed final novel comes to the stage in this world-premiere production of the romantic drama Persuasion. Award-winning playwright Jon Jory penned this adaptation, which finds the lovely Anne Elliot faced with her former beau, Captain Wentworth, whose proposal she'd spurned several years before thanks to her image-conscious family. Once a poor sailor, Wentworth has returned a wealthy and eligible bachelor -- but neither are willing to admit their true feelings for one another, until another man takes a liking to Anne.

Charming, delightfully produced play. Actors were of varied ability, but every one had a moment of something special. HUGE kudos to the actor who stepped in an young Elliott at the last moment...he was fantastic. The actress who played Anne carried the show. She is wonderfully sympathetic. The rest of the cast supported her ably, and the evening was a highlight of our holidays. Play needs a sharper transition from Act One to Act Two, but on the whole well done! A great experience at a bargain price.

this is a nice small theatre, cozy, every seat is a good seat. the performance was wonderful. I expected a small amateur group , but it was so much more. Great costumes, great performance, very professional, i loved it. i could hear all the dialog very clearly. there are 18 actors and they did a wonderful job in moving themselves and the props smoothly on and off the stage. you must go see this , it is so much fun. Great personalities of all the characters .

Some good performances, small stage. A little too much furniture moving.
I am a fan of this Austin story, so was able to follow. A good try at making the story into a play.
