    I love that anyone unfamiliar with the TV adaptation would think this guy is *WAY* exaggerating, only he’s not. Well perhaps the dance scene. I started watching this on my phone but had to switch to a larger screen a couple minutes in when I saw how good this was going to be. Needed to savor every nuance. Couldn’t wait to see how tall Darcy would be in looking down at Mr. Collins at the Netherfield ball. You did not disappoint me. Also nice ass shot when Collins gets out of the hired carriage.😄

    A few years ago, I went to a theatre production of Pride and Predjudice but there were only two actresses, and it took place in a local historical house! The audience followed them around the house as they acted different scenes, and they took turns playing all the characters, similar to you, using small props and accessories to distinguish between each character. It was amazing, unforgettable. I think it would be called emersive theatre? So fun! Yours is just as fun, and funny!! The dancing! 😂❤😂❤😂❤

    I feel the need to point out that, yes, the acting is absolutely exquisite, and your chameleon-like ability to fully inhabit every single VASTLY different character is unbelievable. However, I want to give props and shout-outs even more to THE EDITING. In order for this to feel entirely seamless, you had to act out all of these individual characters and *then* splice them all together so that it really does appear that these are all continuous scenes. And it does not in the least look like there are significant breaks in the filming. I am in awe! (And if you have someone helping with that, major props to them. If not, major props to you.)
    Major props to you regardless. This is truly magnificent. And hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing throughout every scene.
