Episode 22: Girl Talk: Sitting down with Jane Austen and her ingénues

Time for some girl talk with Jane Austen (Kalie Sloan), Elizabeth Bennett (Charli Henn), Lydia Bennett (Naomi Love), and Marianne Dashwood (Bethany Woemmel). Let’s talk crushes - Lizzie Bennett was number one with a bullet amongst the ladies, Darcy, unsurprisingly, enters the conversations, and Bingley, and his authenticity, cannot be ignored. We’ll dissect the characters and what makes each lady stand up and stand out in their respective stories and relationships. We talk about the characters we love, the characters we want to shake, and the characters we relate to. We’ll “put the mirror up” and look at why we cringe.  PLEASE SUBSCRIBE! www.theshakespeareanshrew.com  https://www.youtube.com/@ShakespeareanShrew  Please follow us on Instagram: @theshakespeareanshrew TikTok: @theshakespeareanshrew Please donate to OSP: https://www.okshakes.org/donate Tonight is the only night!! “An Actor’s Carol: One clown’s Dickensian marathon towards redemption” at 7:30.
