"Sneakily captivating … the fraught relationship between Anne and the captain … is lucid and entrancing."
Seattle Post-Intelligencer

Anne Elliot, heroine of Jane Austen’s final completed novel, did something we can all identify with: long ago, she let the love of her life get away. Persuaded by a trusted family friend that the young man she loved was an “improper” match—without fortune, ancestry, or prospects—she rejected him. Now, seven years later, a successful navy officer, Captain Wentworth reenters her life, giving Anne a second chance to prove her unwavering love.  As her heroine pits desire against convention, Austen questions the social and gender conventions of early 19th-Century England. Written in an era of turbulent change – the Napoleonic Wars had just ended, the industrial revolution was in full swing – Persuasion examines how a woman can remain faithful to her past and still move forward into the future.





“Jane Austen, your elegantly perceptive stories are again the talk of the neighborhood, and of tout America. Yes, post-hip-hop America loves it some Austen!”
 —The Seattle Times

“Kudos to the creative staff and cast of an elegant and affective adaptation of one of Jane Austen’s most tender novels. You pierced my soul!”
—Austenprose.com




"I had to send off a note to tell you just how much we enjoyed the current Jane Austen play, Persuasion, at Book-It. The production, staging, costumes and the actors are just mesmerizing…we have so much fun at the Book-it shows." —Vicki S, patron
