In the play I've made the courtship more complex than Mr Bennet's attraction to Mrs Bennet's youth and beauty. While that has to be an element, as alluded to in the novel, I've involved the implacable father of Mr Bennet who is so insistent on his only son marrying within a suitable time frame that he has been arranging matches he deems worthy. Young Mr Bennet does not take to this, and part of the plot revolves around his choice of a bride that will deliberately anger his father - which is part of the attraction for him. I've also involved her parents - but I'll say no more in case I reveal too much and spoil the read for anyone!<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04575201812944060464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954683999390981517.post-46512069679209361172016-08-23T20:41:18.342+02:002016-08-23T20:41:18.342+02:00This play sounds amazing!

Yes, he was charmed by her youth and good looks but was he really so besotted that he couldn't see past them. <br /><br />Something I've read recently implied that in those times, once a couple were betrothed, it wasn't uncommon for them to anticipate their marriage vows and that a fair percentage of births of firstborn children arrived around seven months after the wedding. Jane Austen was a vicar's daughter and must have known that sort of thing happened so one wonders if that was at the back of her mind when writing Mr. and Mrs. Bennet.

In the novel I'm revising, I have a Devon and a Dennis and am scrambling for a name for Dennis that has the flavor of Dennis but not the "D."<br /><br />As for your own name, I instinctively add a "house" to the end of it whenever I see it.

In my play she is the youngest of 3 siblings (the only one who appears) - but her brother, Mr Gardiner of the novel, and sister, Mrs Phillips, are mentioned in the context of having been already married. I should perhaps have considered young Mr Bennet as the only child of Mr Bennet senior to be given the same christian name - but theatrically it's probably for the best as there's already a lot of clarifying which 'Mr Bennet' is being addressed when they are both in the room! <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04575201812944060464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954683999390981517.post-87810304845143571322016-08-20T20:26:12.013+02:002016-08-20T20:26:12.013+02:00Thank you for this Giveaway!!

I have often wondered, "Why? Why? Why? did Mr. Bennet marry his wife?" She comes off better in the Elizabeth Garvie BBC version, but it certainly is not a happy match. One question on composing the play: Almost invariably, Jane Austen names the firstborn boys and girls after their parents. Did Emma Wood consider Jane for the name of young Mrs. Bennet?Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03668873963780987312noreply@blogger.com
