About this show

When young Marianne convinces her aunt Laura to reveal her tragic origin, she little expects such a tale of death, robbery and heartbreak. And Laura wasn't even responsible for all of it. Written when she was just a teenager, Love and Freindship [sic] is like no other Jane Austen story. Prepare for protagonists casually starving their parents to death, women fainting so often it's a deadly hazard, improbable revelations of parentage, dramatic (or underwhelming) death scenes, and, of course, the basis of real love being entirely that your parents don't approve.

What the reviewers said

We have captured 1 published review and 3 audience reviews for this show from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe’s own listing. The excerpts below are the reviewers’ words, not ours — follow each link for the full review.

  • Jane Austen’s Love and Freindship [sic] is an ambitious adaptive project, one of six productions by Edinburgh Rep this Fringe, and certainly worth a jaunt down to CC Blooms for an hour of literary hijinks.
