Deputy Features Editor Grace Knight interviews two artists from opposite ends of the Jane Austen-adaptation spectrum. Barbara Landis adapted and stars in Jane Austen's Persuasion: A Musical Drama, an operetta with a live orchestra. Penny Ashton is the writer-performer behind Promise and Promiscuity, a comical new 'Austen-esque' one woman show. The panelists discuss Austen's enduring popularity, the triumphs and pitfalls of adapting the classics, and the enduring spirit of Jane Austen in today's writers.Jane Austen Panel: Barbara Landis and Penny Ashton by Broadway Baby Radio on Mixcloud
