The Seattle Post-Intelligencer calls this production "...lucid and entrancing"
Aromantic tale of love, perseverance, and rejuvenation, Persuasion pits desire against convention, cutting to the heart of the social and gender issues of early nineteenth century England. Eight years after Anne Elliot’s painful rejection of the naval officer she was betrothed to, having been convinced of his “unworthiness” by her family, she once again struggles with her rekindled and unwavering devotion. Austen’s scenes of avarice and poverty, flirtations begun and abandoned, and her ability to be a ruthless narrator, all come to life in this insightful world-premiere adaptation.
She had been forced into prudence in her youth, she learned romance as she grew older – the natural sequel of an unnatural beginning.
- Jane Austen, Persuasion
