The Genius of Jane Austen: Her Love of Theatre and Why She Is a Hit in Hollywood

 
Hay Festival 2017, 

A radical look at Jane Austen as you’ve never seen her – as a lover of farce, comic theatre and juvenilia. Byrne celebrates Britain’s favourite novelist 200 years after her death and explores why her books make such awesome movies, time after time.
