By Jane’s Hand

VCE THEATRE STUDIES PLAYLIST 2024

Created by Emma O'Brien (Writer/Director) with Olivia O’Brien (Writer/Performer) with text by Jane Austen sourced from her letters and ‘Pride and Prejudice’ interwoven with music from Austen’s private collection.

'A brief and whimsical divertissement to gladden the hearts of Janeites' The Age

Jane’s life was censored by the patriarchy and romanticised by popular culture. Why did her family burn her letters? How and why did she create?

This new work from old collides elements of music and verbatim theatre within a dreamscape.

An ensemble piece with three actors playing Jane and characters from ‘Pride and Prejudice’, this play invites you to immerse yourself in Jane’s magnificent mind; bringing what you know about her, her novels, and her meaning to the space; and maybe discover more.
