| And the reviews are in for DLC as Jane Austen in PRIDE AND PREJUDICE at the NYMF... |
|
One of many shrewd decisions marking the gratifyingly successful adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, at Signature Theatre Company's Peter Norton Space, is the inclusion of Austen herself as a main character, played
with verve by Donna Lynne Champlin.
Theatre
Mania
Played with wry humor by Donna Lynne Champlin,
Austen is both a puppet mistress and a captivated onlooker, watching with joy or dismay
as her characters confirm or subvert their creator’s
expectations.

Donna
Lynne Champlin (who was blogging about her experience with the show on The New York Times ArtsBeat blog) delights in this role,
adding a nice presence for the characters to play off of throughout the show.
Emerging
Musical Theatre
Instead
of merely telling the story of Pride and Prejudice, they have chosen to have Jane Austen
(brought to life with great complexity and nuance by Broadway veteran Donna
Lynne Champlin) be an ever-present narrator of sorts who is busy crafting the
tale in front of our eyes as she tries to create a follow up hit to her smash
success Sense and Sensibility.
