Mansfield Park & Ride is Guardian Pick of the Week!

This week's Guardian Guide has selected Mansfield Park & Ride as their Pick of the Week, proclaiming Eastern Angles as "always purveyors of a good Christmas show".

Lyn Gardner wrote: "It has been a very fine 12 months for Eastern Angles, the East Anglian based company that, back in 2008, faced Arts Council cuts, but which has since reinvented itself, coming out with some interesting work like the superb verbatim piece Return to Akenfield. As its title suggests, Mansfield Park & Ride is going to be one of the company's lighter shows, as the cast don breeches and bonnets to liberate Jane Austen's novels from the corset of the page and smear them with puns, ditties and outrageous satire. Clearly a bit of festive silliness which the publicity assures us is "a long, long way after Jane Austen", it could be a fun way to start the new year if you fancy seeing whether Mrs Bonnet succeeds in marrying off her dotty daughters or why Betsy the Maid is in every scene."
