Descrição: The range of source texts is wider than one might guess: all six of the completed novels have seen both straight play and musical adaptation, and Sanditon, The Watsons, Lady Susan, Lesley Castle, and Love and Freindship have been reworked for the stage as well. Traditional page-to-stage productions featuring venerable adaptors such as Jory and the duo Joseph Hanreddy and J. R. Sullivan are still frequently staged, and like some revisionist competitors—including Peter Bloedel's A Seussified Pride and Prejudice, produced eleven times in 2018—these plays thrive in school settings and in community and regional theaters; none have received the equivalent of Broadway / West End runs or major national tours yet. Whether these productions are brilliant or commercially successful is less the point than understanding that audiences crave an experience beyond reading the novels, watching the films and TV and web series, or attending Regency cosplay events.
