Join the Jane Austen Society of North America in celebrating Jane Austen’s 250th birthday as we host a screening of Whit Stillman’s “Love & Friendship”. Based on one of Austen’s earliest works, titled “Lady Susan”, it’s a wonderful example of Austen’s satirical wit and her early genius as a writer. Stillman does a masterful job adapting this wild romp for the big screen.
