Ten one-act plays showcase Austen's vibrant humor and stage-readiness. Eight are selections from her teenage writings. One is a conversation between Austen and Shakespeare, and one is a scene from a Lovers' Vows practice session in the novel Mansfield Park. McCune's plays were written for performance at the annual Jane Austen Summer Program (JASP) in Chapel Hill/ Carborro North Carolina, where they are a high point of the event. Preface by Inger Brodey. Illustrated. Cover photo shows Sarah Rose Kearns and Michele Robinson performing in the premier of Lesley Castle at the 2018 JASP. 2023. Paper. NEW. $15.00
