See it if you love the play and can put up with a bit too much slapstick. There is an essence of romance that strikes a real chord. well done by all

Don't see it if you either need absolute faithful portrayal of the book or a full blown dramatization of the saga. This is a clever but bare bones approach

See it if you enjoy the overuse of mugging and screaming in a play. You want to see Jason O'Connell keep getting better and better as an actor.

Don't see it if you are a traditionalist. The play misses most of the flavor of Austen's novel. Read more

See it if Fiasco's and Bedlam's trunk show stagings of Shakespeare delight you and you're open to the same approach for a Jane Austen adaptation.
