Information for Austen's Women - Lady Susan at The Swallow Theatre, Whithorn (Play). A selection of the most rewarding and exciting moments in the works of Jane Austen, Austen's Women brings to the stage the many beautifully observed women and heroines throughout her canon. From scenes of high comedy to moments of pathos and loneliness, Austen's creations are painted with unnerving accuracy. A journey into the 'Two inches of ivory' with Lizzy Bennet, Emma Woodhouse, The Dashwood Sisters and many more as they fall in and out of love, make friends and alienate others, commit notorious improprieties and learn important life lessons. This new solo show is a must-see for every Jane Austen fan. A darkly comic tale of society and the women trapped within it; their struggles, their desires, their temptations, and manipulations - and at the vanguard, Lady Susan: charming, scheming, witty, and powerful; taking on society and making it her own. But has she met her match?
