The History of England

Work:: The History of England (S1784)

By a partial, prejudiced and ignorant Historian. Written in 1791 when Jane was only sixteen, this delightful burlesque romps gleefully through the reigns of English monarchs from Henry IV to Charles I. Tim Heath's acclaimed adaptation for solo actress, packed with live music, songs, battles and recreations of Cassandra Austen's charming illustrations, has been enjoyed internationally since opening at Bath's Theatre Royal. The History of England is coupled with The History of a Young Lady, in which Maria Stanhope will do anything to best her sisters and defy the super-snob Lady Greville... Written in 1791 when Jane was only sixteen, this delightful burlesque romps gleefully through the reigns of English monarchs from Henry IV to Charles I.
