"There's a bit of a problem with emotional repression here. So don't be surprised if someone occasionally starts singing out of the blue," is the gentle introduction to the special circumstances of cramped life in the small town. But sudden karaoke interludes are not the only thing that makes Isobel McArthur's acclaimed new version of Jane Austen's masterpiece unusual and unique. Highly modern and surprisingly true to the original, McArthur gives a voice to those who - although indispensable - usually go unmentioned. In a veritable tour de force, five maids embody not only the sarcastic Elizabeth Bennet and the snooty Mr. Darcy, but almost the entire staff of the novel. Amidst comedy, pop songs and a very old-fashioned love story, a tale of female self-determination and economic dependence emerges that doesn't seem so far away.
