The beautiful, spacious estate of Mansfield Park is the residence of Sir Thomas and Lady Bertram, with their two daughters and two sons. They soon share their good fortune with Fanny Price, the timid, delicate niece of Lady Bertram who comes to live with them. Far from her parents' home in Portsmouth, Fanny finds her new life a bit awkward until a family theatrical production loosens the social conventions that normally govern the household. Fanny soon becomes an indispensable part of things, but when Sir Thomas is required to travel abroad, dangerous alliances threaten the family's stability. In the end, it is Fanny's quiet, earnest character that saves the day. Newly designed and typeset by Waking Lion Press.

Industry Reviews

"'The adaptation is somewhat weighty - it reveals Austen not as a prissy creator of romantic fiction, but as a moral satirist of enormous stature.' - Telegraph 'We are kept intrigued throughout and the highest praise is to say that, while we all know that there is a book in the background, we remain unaware of it.' - The Stage 'Fans of Austen and period costume drama in general will lap it up.' - The Public Reviews 'Bursting with life and energy - Wonderfully entertaining and brilliantly realized.' - East Anglian Daily Times "
