Playwright
Adapted from Jane Austen's Novel by Pamela Whalan
Director
Pamela Whalan
Address420 Kent Street Sydney
The Bertram family of Mansfield Park, calm and respectable on the surface, but full of discontent, unfulfilled ambition and unstated desire, break free from the restraints of the constricting formality of their lives when the charming, worldly Crawfords come to visit in the neighbourhood. The rash conduct of the young people is observed acutely by poor relation Fanny Price who is powerless to help, while those who should be guiding and advising are either absent, fussing over trifles, or dozing peacefully by the fire.
 
This most sophisticated of Jane Austen's novels is brought to the stage in Pamela Whalan's adaptation which she also directs. Peter Henson has designed a set and costumes that recreate the elegance of Regency England and capture the character of Mansfield Park and its inhabitants.


Friday Saturday at 8.00pm, Sunday 4.30pm
