Every production I've seen at Lakewood Playhouse has been wonderful but I was concerned that no amount of skill could overcome my bias against the author. Fortunately, the wonderful skill of the actors drew me completely into the character's lives with their attention to dialogue and relationships. Trying to explain all the connections between the Austen's characters is like trying to explain the connections you discover between your Facebook friends. It will just take too long and still make your head spin at how the spider web of relationships are connected.
