Director's Notes
The Dolphin Theatre is thrilled to celebrate Jane Austen’s 2017 bicentenary with the New Zealand premiere of one of the author’s earliest and most provocative novels – Lady Susan.
Possessing neither conscience nor morals Lady Susan is the most unscrupulous anti-heroine Austen ever created, and in the words of one of Lady Susan’s young lovers, the eponymous character is “the most accomplished and deceitful coquette in England.” If you thought you knew your Jane Austen – think again!

To mark Jane Austen’s bicentenary, we are privileged to present an adaptation of what is arguably her most provocative novel. Although unpublished in Austen’s lifetime, it was one of her earliest works. The eponymous character is by far the most scandalous, unscrupulous anti-heroine Austen ever conceived, with neither conscience nor morals. If you thought you knew your Jane Austen, think again!
