To celebrate 200 years of the work of one of Britain’s greatest authors, a newly adapted production of Jane Austen’s novel Persuasion visits the Playhouse from 9th-13th October.

Brought to the stage by Theatre6 and Catherine Schreiber, Jane Austen’s final novel is performed on stage for the first time as part of a U.K. tour, featuring an original score by Maria HaIk Escudero. Directed by Kate McGregor with costumes inspired by the period, the production sees the theatre company behind the critically-acclaimed Gabriel, featuring Paul McGann, return to the Playhouse for the first time since 2017.
