Lady Susan
by Jane Austen
13 Jun 2014 – 14 Jun 2014
Selfish, greedy, scheming, cruel, and unscrupulous – but charming when it suits her purposes -- Lady Susan was the first of Austen’s ‘Women Behaving Badly’. She manipulates other people entirely in her own interest, revealing her thoughts and intentions in the many letters she writes to both victims and confidantes. Broadway producer Robert Moss created a script from Austen’s unfinished manuscript and has generously given the Globe permission to stage what will be its first production outside New York. All proceeds for this fundraising event will be given to the Globe’s conservation repair fund.
