- Jane Austen's House Ambassadors for 2020-21, playwright Laura Wade and actor Samuel West, join highly acclaimed Austen expert Professor Kathryn Sutherland for a stimulating discussion of Jane Austen’s works, from a dramatist’s point of view. Gathered around the Dining Room table at Jane Austen’s House in Chawton, they discuss the question, “What makes a good Jane Austen adaptation?”
This year’s Carpenter lecture takes the form of a relaxed and lively conversation, filmed on location at Jane Austen’s House in Chawton and released online for you to view from the comfort of your own home.
Pull up a chair and enjoy this delightful, in-depth exploration of Jane Austen - from the adaptations of popular works that she wrote herself as a teenager, to recent film adaptations of her work - from Sense and Sensibility and Mansfield Park to Clueless and Bride and Prejudice!
This event is freely available, as we want it to be accessible to everyone. If you enjoy it, please do consider making a donation to the Museum - www.justgiving... - Thank you!
This event has been made possible by generous funding from the Carpenter family.
Samuel West could read me the phonebook at night, I love his voice, it's so calming.
A close second to Alan Rickman ❤
Persuasion 1995 is my favourite!
Lovely. I also laughed often. Austen always makes me smile, as if you are sharing secrets together. Thank you everyone. Like many, I am currently enjoying Mr. West in ACGS. ❤
How to spot a cad: pointed sideburns 🤣
Imagine my Swiss son’s gymnase matura mates keeping up over a ski weekend with the TV Firth P&P. One young Vaudoise protests, “How CAN Charlotte marry Mr. Collins? The other five burst out as one, “Parce qu’elle n’a aucune PROSPECTS!!!” Charlotte’s economic plight crossed all barriers of century and nationality.
Wonderful, thank you. I live in a small Northamptonshire village, in which a former paper mill, provided paper to Jane Austen.
Okay, this has just started for me and I'm thrilled. BTW, I really enjoy Samuel West in All Creatures Great and Small.
That ended up being one of my favorite shows.
This was just wonderful! I could have listened to a few more hours of this discussion!
I wish I could have seen their adaptation of The Watsons.
Oh that was glorious. From the "little jane austen bomb" to the fabulous behind-the-scenes remembrance into my favourite Austen adaptation of all time, the Persuasion film with Amanda Root, etc, to the fantastic balance of academic knowledge with cinematic and theatrical excellence, thank you!
That’s why Persuasion is the best of them all, (don’t forget Redgrave also)
Really enjoyed this discussion. Thank you.
I am in awe! A brilliant conversation centering on-yes! What I most love and treasure about Jane Austen’s books: the narrative voice! And so rarely the focus of “things Austen” in my experience. I adapted Persuasion for Chamber Theatre for the 1984 JASNA AGM in St. Louis-cast of 42 with narrator front and center. Robert Bremen, developer of the technique, was most interested in the topic of your discussion: how do you convey that in film. The power of the camera. The best discussion I have ever experienced. Rich. Thank you all so much--
Thank you for a wonderful conversation.
Daughter and I loved the British Library Gothic exhibition where the curators amassed in a glass case all the first editions of the racy thrillers named in Northanger Abbey
Just a joy to hear this discussion, thank you! ❤
I loved all Austen adaptations, even 1995 Persuasion, which is not one of my fav Austen novel. And this is a brilliant and stimulating conversation so, please JA House, give us much more👌
I re-read Jane Austen's work regularly and gain something new from then every time
Thank you. Lots of ground covered from 3 different perspectives, and so full of interest. Much appreciated. Love Chawton cottage, and couldn't get over the tiny table which was JA's habitual desk.
Mr Bennet’s delivery of key observations is critical to conveying the missing Austen voice in films of P&P
Lovely discussion! Really enlightening. Thanks to the three of you!!!
Thank you, it was brilliant and very enjoying
This lecture was a HUGE treat! Thank you, I enjoyed it very much! 👏👏👏🤩📚📚📚
Thank you! Just wonderful !
This was just wonderful! Thank you.
Ciaran Hinds as Captain Wentworth for me...woah...
The only and prime problem with him was that he looked far too old. Certainly to vie for the affection of two young teenage girls. It was absurd. I love him, but sadly the Wentworth of, say, the 2007 version makes more sense.
Fascinating. More please! (Minus the constant “Mmmm” of agreement in the background tho. 😆)
the 1970 persuasion is excellent even though the hair styling is strange It is pretty close to the novel as to script and character
Doesn't limited space also reflect the nature of the society at the time, as well
❤️
Particularly for women!
But Joe Wright’s P&P was set too early, not Regency either, pretty much panned in the New Yorker
I found Rozema's MP a shameful abuse of Austen
I've never favored Darcy. I much prefer Edward Ferrars and Frederick Wentworth.
“Becoming Jane” talks about new novels were.
I wish my new favourite had been discussed - there's not enough love for "Pride & Prejudice & Zombies" on the Internet... ;)
no film of an hour and a half can even begin to capture JA personally I have never watched any production under 5 hours. I wonder that you have chosen such shallow adaptions
