This one-act play is intended to provide audiences with the flavor of Austen’s work and wit within the setting of a true Georgian Mansion.“Persuasion” relates the story of Anne Elliot, an aristocratic young lady who declines marrying Captain Frederick Wentworth at a youthful age even though she deeply loves him. After a period of seven years, Anne and Wentworth meet again and must resolve their complex feelings through a series of encounters that will be highlighted in the play. “Persuasion” was Austen’s final complete novel and has often been cited as her most insightful and mature work.
