Jane Austen
Persuasion
In Persuasion, her last novel, Jane Austen displays her finest awareness of the pressures of family expectation and of drawing-room society.
Anne Elliot has brought her misfortunes upon herself. Her mistaken decision to break her engagement with Captain Wentworth - to which she was persuaded by a dear friend of the family, Lady Russell - let worldly prudence outweigh love. Persuasion takes up the story over seven years later, with the reappearance of Wentworth, in what is Jane Austen’s most mature, profound and delicate comedy of love and marriage.
Geraldine McEwan has had an extensive stage career and made her debut as a director with As You Like It. Her television appearances include The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, Mapp and Lucia and Oranges are Not the Only Fruit. She has performed her Jane Austen programme Two Inches of Ivory throughout the country to much acclaim.
