A staged reading of The Complete Works of Jane Austen, Abridged

The talented 3-person cast features Elizabeth Girvin, Aaron Turnbull, and Olivia Weiss portraying at least ten characters per actor from Austen's masterpieces, while enjoying a comic and somewhat anachronistic celebration of the Regency period.
