Jane Austen: Who Dares To Be An Authoress

The year is 1815, and Jane Austen has just returned from a visit to the Prince Regent’s London residence, prompting her to reminisce on her literary successes. This short play, originally presented under the title Miss Austen at Home, was written for a performance at The Swan’s Island Educational Society in Maine in the summer of 2013. Since then, it has made the rounds of libraries, museums, and other educational institutions, growing and developing with every performance.
