This was a very enjoyable read. Brown's play manages to keep the spirit of the world of Jane Austen's original story, while vaulting it into modern day. The characters are charming and engaging - and it would provide an excellent introduction to High School students that might not yet have been exposed to the original novel. Perfect for Universities, High Schools, or for theatres that are looking for name recognition pieces, but are willing to do a slightly different take. Highly recommended. This is a playwright to keep an eye on.
