Edinburgh Fringe show for Solstice

Solstice Arts Centre stages the Edinburgh Fringe Festival '09 hit show 'Austen's Women' on Sunday next, 17th January. As this season's 'Supper at Solstice', audiences will enjoy wine and cheese post show. Some of the most rewarding and exciting moments from the complete works of Jane Austen, the queen of English Literature, are brought to the stage in this performance. Thirteen of Austen's beautifully observed women are assembled in one glorious distillation of 19th century feminism, co-written and performed by Rebecca Vaughan and co-written and directed by Guy Masterson. From scenes of high comedy to moments of profound pathos, this one woman show takes us on a rich journey into Austen's "two inches of ivory" featuring Lizzy Bennet, Emma Woodhouse, Anne Elliot, the Dashwood Sisters and many more, as they fall in and out of love, make friends with some, alienate others and commit notorious improprieties. Tickets are €16, including wine and cheese. To book tickets, contact the Solstice Arts Centre Box Office on (046) 909 2300.
