“[Jessica B.] Hill and [Olivia] Sinclair-Brisbane are both exemplary, with Hill perhaps first among equals. Both manage to show us, at least at moments, the very young girls that Austen wrote. (Elinor is nineteen, Marianne seventeen. You’ll have to turn to the novel for the full effect.)
As the thirteen-year-old Margaret Dashwood, [Jade V.] Robinson makes a smashing Festival debut. She has worked with [Daryl] Cloran before and we have him to thank for introducing her to the company. I hope she sticks around…Festival veterans Seanna McKenna and Steve Ross shine in the minor roles of Mrs. Jennings and Sir John Middleton.”
