Media Reviews
'The adaptation is somewhat weighty - it reveals Austen not as a prissy creator of romantic fiction, but as a moral satirist of enormous stature.' - Telegraph 'We are kept intrigued throughout and the highest praise is to say that, while we all know that there is a book in the background, we remain unaware of it.' - The Stage 'Fans of Austen and period costume drama in general will lap it up.' - The Public Reviews 'Bursting with life and energy - Wonderfully entertaining and brilliantly realized.' - East Anglian Daily Times
