“Persuasion” is a one-act play, inspired by scenes from Jane Austen's final novel. The play was adapted by Sam Slaymaker and will be performed within the rooms on the first floor of the General Hand Mansion. The Actor’s School is the creative team for this production.
“Persuasion” relates the story of Anne Elliot, an aristocratic young lady who declines marrying Captain Frederick Wentworth at a youthful age even though she deeply loves him. After a period of seven years, Anne and Wentworth meet again and must resolve their feelings through a series of encounters that are highlighted in the play.
Due to size constraints within the rooms of the Hand Mansion, audiences are limited to 15 guests per performance.
Guests will be standing throughout the performance and will be moving from room to room following the action of the play.
