Georgettes of Oxford presents 'A Faithful Narrative - The story of Jane Austen' told through drama, dance and music by both professional and community performers.Come and watch this very special performance written for this event telling the life story of Jane Austen. The play will transport the audience back to the time of Jane Austen with historical dance demonstrations from Austen’s life, see how both the dance and costume evolved from 1775 to 1817, listen to professional early music musicians perform pieces of music from her collection on period instruments, hear Austen’s words from her letters and watch extracts from Austen’s novels performed by a mix of our group of community actors and professional actors.
