このオーディオブックについて

A full-cast stage adaptation of Jane Austen’s classic novel.

The dour, Mr. Darcy is anything but popular with the Bennets, especially when he fancies a member of their clan. And as Elizabeth reluctantly deals with Mr. Darcy’s advances, their romance seems destined to fail.

Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice set the standard for romantic comedies when it debuted in 1813, and it still speaks to audiences worldwide through countless adaptations.

Includes a roundtable interview with the entire cast.

An L.A. Theatre Works full-cast performance featuring:
Julia McIlvane as Elizabeth Bennet;
Nick Toren as Mr. Darcy;
Jane Carr as Mrs. Bennet and Lady Catherine; alongside Diane Adair, Nicholas Hormann, Chloe Dworkin, Cerris Morgan-Moyer, Jill Renner, and Darren Richardson.

Adapted for the stage by Christina Calvit. Directed by Brian Kite. Recorded by L.A. Theatre Works before a live audience.

著者について

Jane Austen's life is striking for the contrast between the great works she wrote in secret and the outward appearance of being quite dull and ordinary. Austen was born in the small English town of Steventon in Hampshire, and educated at home by her clergyman father. She was deeply devoted to her family. For a short time, the Austens lived in the resort city of Bath, but when her father died, they returned to Steventon, where Austen lived until her death at the age of 41. Austen was drawn to literature early, she began writing novels that satirized both the writers and the manners of the 1790's. Her sharp sense of humor and keen eye for the ridiculous in human behavior gave her works lasting appeal. She is at her best in such books as Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814), and Emma (1816), in which she examines and often ridicules the behavior of small groups of middle-class characters. Austen relies heavily on conversations among her characters to reveal their personalities, and at times her novels read almost like plays. Several of them have, in fact, been made into films. She is considered to be one of the most beloved British authors.
